Farm Contractor & Large Scale Farmer

Farm Contractor & Large Scale Farmer was launched in 1972 and continues to service generations of professional agricultural contractors. In 1993, large-scale arable farmers were added to the circulation. Both sectors have the same editorial requirements and dominate the market for farm machinery sales, along with allied consumables – tyres, spare parts, agrochemicals, silage wrap etc. In recent times, Farm Contractor & Large Scale Farmer has proved itself to be the market leader for agricultural machinery, keeping the readership right up to date with news and development. Lewis Business Media acquired farm Contractor & Large Scale Farmer in 2020.

Groupe ISAGRI has announced the acquisition of Sencrop, which the two companies state will ensure the continuity of innovation and provide users with a higher level of service. 🚜 Michael B., co-founder of Sencrop, says that users and partners, including cooperatives and traders, will benefit from an expanded network of stations and a richer product offering. “For existing users, very little will change – our weather stations and app will continue to function as normal. But in the longer term, farmers will benefit from the synergies of our two businesses.” The merger will see the ISAGRI-owned Météus weather service absorbed by Sencrop. The corporation also owns Landmark Systems Ltd; a farm and estate management software company based in the UK. #sencrop #weatherstations #groupisagri
