BAKERSFIELD, CA  — Ag Silo has launched its farming equipment marketplace to help farmers buy and sell equipment without high buyer or auction fees. The service makes it easier for farmers to find equipment outside their city and state.

"From Lincoln to Lubbock, we heard about farmers’ struggles with equipment auctions and hefty fees," said CEO and Co-Founder of Ag Silo Martyn Gross. "We created Ag Silo to provide a better option for America's farmers, who are the backbone of this country."

Ag Silo's online platform features competitive pricing nationwide. 

"Ag Silo is not an auction site, but instead aims to keep more money in farmers’ pockets," said Gross. "Farmers see the value in our pricing transparency and model; we already have $20 million in inventory listed on Ag Silo.”

Buyers and sellers can compare farm equipment prices across the country, which includes shipping costs.

"Farmers have needed a way to leverage the internet to market their equipment at reasonable fees for years,” said Mike Ratke, a farmer from Farwell, Texas.  “Ag Silo does that. Finally, someone that cares about ag.”

Ag Silo does not charge a buyer's fee; sellers pay a 4% fee on items sold.
