Farmers and Landowners have always been good neighbours to one another, the idea of a co-operative to share farming resources has emerged more recently. In the late 1980's groups of farmers all over the country set up self help organisations that today we call 'machinery rings'.

RAMSAK covers the counties of Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and Eastern Surrey. The ring's computer system presents the works coordinator with data starting with the nearest supplier. Using this system minimises travelling time and is the fairest and most effective way to apportion work.

Although the core business will always be centered around improved utilisation of farm machinery and skilled labour, many rings are diversifying into other services within the rural community. In this website you will see many of the rural services that RAMSAK have on offer.
