A group has set up a website offering to buy and sell second-hand tractors, diggers, telehandlers and dumpers using the identity of agronomy group Prime Agriculture LLP.

The site – www. prime-agriculture .com – claims to be Prime Agriculture LLP and uses Prime Agriculture LLP’s company registration number and registered address, which is the AF site at Honingham Thorpe.

This came to light after a Norwegian farmer rang the AF office to check details prior to transferring a significant sum of money as a deposit on a purchase.

Prime Agriculture has no knowledge of this operation and the police have been alerted. Members are being warned not to buy through this site. Please make others aware.
