Charges for 2025
2026 will be updated in the Spring
Annual Handling, Storage and Haulage
The handling charge for the 2025 Harvest was unchanged at £9.90 per ton (2026 will be announced in the Spring).
In addition to the handling charge, you will pay for the haulage cost to your nearest store (Cambridge, Linton, or Northants). For existing members closest to Stratford-Upon-Avon, that will remain their closest store for calculating haulage costs.
You can choose to arrange your own haulage, working with our membership team, or we can coordinate it through our haulage partner FLB, it’s entirely up to you.
Camgrain’s Commitment: If your crop needs to be sent to a store other than the nearest one, for operational reasons, we’ll cover the additional cost.
We’re committed to making your experience as efficient and cost-effective as possible.
Ergot Charges
At Camgrain, we’re committed to supporting our farmer members with better value and more efficient processes. Thanks to our ongoing efforts to manage costs and invest in advanced colour sorting technology, we reduced our Ergot charges for the 2025 Harvest. (2026 tbc)
