WITH a strong background in agricultural lime and fertiliser spreading, Eddy’s Spreading Services was launched in 2003.
Servicing a large physical area – ranging from Croydon and Montrose through to Alexandra and Buxton, and the Glenburn and Yea regions – owner-operator Darren Eddy provides his extensive expertise, knowledge and first-class computerised spreading equipment.
Specially made Scorpion spreader bins are fully equipped with electronic scales, further enhancing the spreading service that the Eddy’s offer.
The addition of a brand-new Euro-5 rated Mercedes-Benz four-wheel-drive truck provides excellent capabilities for covering varying terrains, as well as being environmentally friendly.
Darren said economy was a focus for the business.
“Farmers today are very aware of the economics of both product and application costs for all general products; fertiliser, lime and gypsum,” he said.
“The bottom line is that most farmers expect good quality product and great service from both the source supplier and the spreader driver.”
Eddy’s Spreading Services has been providing a good level of service for more than seven years, building a solid reputation for reliability and service.
The busiest time of the year is autumn, which, in terms of farming, begins early February, extending through until June.
During this time, hundreds of tonnes of products from source suppliers, Unimin Ltd (lime) and Incitec-Pivot (fertiliser), are handled efficiently by the Eddy’s team.
Juggling this busy process falls to Kate Eddy, the office manager/secretary, who continues to seamlessly deal with the product ordering, quoting of jobs and supply issues.
Kate also utilises the advice and agronomy service provided by Graeme McIntyre, who has more than 25 years’ experience in his chosen field.
Farmers are lucky when they get to talk to Graeme directly, who is in a position to visit and perform on-site soil testing, a necessary feature of modern-day farming.
Darren and Kate Eddy are proud of the positive feedback they receive from customers.
