Some growing trends -- The trends we do each day are usually what's happening right at this minute. But on the Farm Tender site, we are noticing some niche trends, longer-term trends, and areas where we are gaining some momentum. Pasture and Grain Seed has always been pretty popular, but it seems to have gone to the next level this year. 

Vetch Seed has been a standout. Feed Grain like Lupins, Beans and Feed Barley has been growing in stature lately, mainly to the Sheep Farmers.

Vehicles, especially Utes, have been a growing trend over the last 12 months. We seem to be finding a niche in that Farm Ute market. Farm Trucks are also growing. We wrote about it a few weeks ago how the Tray Truck is making a comeback. International Accos are leading the way.

Tractors have always been good to us, but we are getting more access to the low-hour, later model and higher horsepower units. It's gone to a new level again in the last 2 months. Similar with Headers.

We have always struggled in the Livestock category, although we have had success selling surplus Rams and Bulls from outside the Auctions sales. There might be a change or two in the wind for Livestock. Watch this space.
