Lambertschaag, Grasdrogerij Hartog B.V. has decided to gradually phase out the drying process for alfalfa and grass. Drying will continue in 2025, but starting in 2026, the drying process will be completely discontinued. This strategic decision was made after considering various factors, including rising energy costs, land availability, increased maintenance costs, and high crop supply costs.

Over the next 24 months, existing contracts for crop drying will be honored and completed as agreed. Hartog will remain committed to fulfilling all ongoing obligations.

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE: Animal feeds with added value

Although we will be scaling down the drying process, Hartog will remain active in the production of animal feed. The focus is on further developing innovative products that add value for our customers. This change will allow us to expand and strengthen our production capacity.
