Setting up a machinery-sharing co-op – what, why and how

SHARING OPTIONS: The fully spec 2200 gallon OBE slurry tanker and trailing shoe was chosen for its low centre of gravity to suit the hilly West Cork terrain. Over 30 years ago, four French farmers started to share a round baler in western France. Now Contrevents Verts Co-op owns a fleet of over 45 machines, with balers, trailers, manure spreaders, a tractor, ploughs, harrows and sub-soilers. The co-op also built a solar-powered shed and has 37 members and nine committee members. When it wants to buy a machine, it puts 20% of its value into the CUMA share capital and borrows the rest. This was one of the farms that the Kilnamartrya discussion group from Cork visited when it went on a fact-finding mission to learn about machine sharing in France.
