Data-Driven Focus Unlocking the Farmer’s Mindset

Insights to Drive Smarter Ag Marketing

Today’s farmers are more connected and informed than ever, relying on digital tools and platforms to guide their purchasing decisions. Spindustry’s data-driven exploration of the Farmer’s Buying Journey reveals how over 750 farmers, dealers, and distributors navigate the path to purchase. From YouTube to online catalogs, discover how your business can align with the digital behaviors and expectations of modern ag buyers to drive measurable results.

3 Different Studies from 2021 to 2024

Spindustry wants to help farmers buy and manufacturers, distributors, and dealers sell to those farmers. To help everyone connect, we are creating a series of attitudinal studies interviewing all involved.

We started with a survey of farmers in 2021. We surveyed over 750 farmers citing their attitudes and preferences as they work towards making informed purchases. While you can likely guess the Internet plays a role in their decision making, how different groups use the Internet and when they choose not to may surprise you. If you are a dealer, distributor or manufacturer looking to make decisions about your digital and marketing strategy this real evidence will help you make informed decisions or back up decisions you have made. 

From the first study you will learn:

  • What is the first step farmers take in researching a part or piece of equipment?
  • What percentage of farmers go to YouTube before they buy?
  • How important is social media in the buying process?
  • Should I still be printing catalogs?
  • How loyal are these customers once they buy that first time?

In our second study in 2021, we surveyed distributors and dealers to see if they are marketing the way the farmers want to receive that marketing and asked if the distributors and dealers feel supported in their marketing and e-commerce efforts by their manufacturing partners.

Our third study was conducted in 2024. We surveyed farmers again, to see how attitudes have changed since 2021, as well as what 2024 and beyond looks like for digital strategy and business growth for dealers – Watch It Now
