Alexander Spraying Ltd - Agricultural Spray Operator
Alexander Spraying Ltd is a family-owned agricultural contracting business. The spraying division offers a RB35 Bateman self-propelled sprayer and 3 Isuzu trucks. We also provide drilling and cultivation services to our clients. We can work in with you on the length of time, ideally starting in September until the end of December but could go through to march if you would like to work on a cropping farm during harvest.
