Machinery FAQs

FarmersMarket.ie was created in response to customer and dealer demand for a trusted, farming-focused and easy-to-use online classifieds website which allows users to find exactly what they need without having to sift through what they don’t. Farmers can be nervous about buying and selling online so we've created a community that farmers can trust. It's where farmers trade.

The Irish Farmers Journal brings this new site to the market, with a dynamic look and feel, that offers standard classified adverts to corporate level packages, display advertising, and the latest news stories. At FarmerMarket.ie, you can buy and sell online and harness the power of the Irish Farmers Journal with its 379,400 weekly readers (TGI 2022) by also placing your ads in the weekly print edition.

For machinery dealer enquiries please get in touch with our Machinery Account Managers.
