Our storage network can add value to your crop
We pride ourselves on our storage network. All our stores operate the most accurate industry-leading laboratory equipment, meaning we can deliver high levels of satisfaction to customers across some of the most demanding – yet highly valuable – markets.
With our high capacity intake and dryers, grain delivered off-farm is quickly preserved and processed at harvest.
Other benefits of our storage network include:
- Reduced energy costs
- Prompt uplift at harvest
- Easily segregated products by variety or quality
- Full quality analysis on every load (both in and out of the store)
- Efficient logistics.

Bressingham
Unlike other central stores where individual farmers own their storage rights, the store at Bressingham is owned by Openfield.

Based in the heartland of Norfolk, the store can accommodate 35,000 tonnes. Further development of the site is being evaluated.
The site is also the hub of Openfield operations in East Anglia and is a recognised regional office for our team of Farm Business Managers and support team.
