FGS Agri Intro

FGS Agri is a company that offers a range of services to the agricultural sector, including agricultural contracting, biosolids application, utility contracting, and farm management. The company has become a one stop shop for all outsourced agricultural services required by the livestock and arable farmer.

Office Extension

After years of growth at our base in Pluckley, the office space at Stanford Bridge Farm has got a bit tight! We are pleased to announce that the long-awaited office extension is now underway and progressing well. It’s great to witness the new office taking shape as planned and we look forward to the additional space it will provide.

Site Clearance

FGS Agri continue to grow the range of services provided beyond traditional agricultural services. We now undertake site clearance work to enable land owners and developers to access sites and commence their work. Using our excavator mounted mulcher head and tree saw we have the tools perfect for clearing vegetation.

Vegetation Management

We are also involved in a number of vegetation management projects. Working in partnership with FGS Pilcher and Habitat Regeneration, we are undertaking vegetation management at a large renewable energy project which will create the largest solar farm in Europe.

Also, working with sister company Habitat Regeneration, we carried out vegetation management of a downland area in Kent. We undertook scrub management by removing bramble and self-seeded blackthorn from approximately 100 acres of downland. The project’s goal is to bring livestock back into the land management system and help to promote the historic traditional chalk grassland and wildflower meadows.
