Spalding fuel company Rix Petroleum is running a scheme to help the district’s farmers control their costs during harvest time.
The price of fuel fluctuates daily, particularly at times of high demand such as harvest time.
For the second year running the company, based on Welland Business Park at Clay Lake, is allowing farmers to order their entire stock of diesel in one day and Rix Petroleum will store it until it’s needed.
The scheme, popular last year, means farmers are not exposed to the turmoil in the oil markets. That in turn allows them to plan costs better and avoid price hikes.
