Farms.com Classifieds app now available - post a classified add directly from your phone

If you’ve ever found yourself asking if there’s an app for something, chances are there is.

There’s an app that lets the user simulate using a stapler, an app that can turn your phone into an air blower should you not want to blow out birthday candles and one that also simulates opening and closing a zipper.

Luckily, if you are a farmer, Farms.com has developed a more practical mobile app.

As farming and agriculture move towards mobile platforms, Farms.com recently launched its Classified Application, giving farmers access to hundreds of classified listings – right in the palm of their hands. The Farms.com Classifieds app is the only North American Classified app that is targeted to farming and the agriculture industry.

Farms.com Classifieds have always included ads that are specific to the farming industry, from antique tractors to livestock. The three most popular classified searches are for Tractors, Harvesting Equipment, and Hay and Forage – good luck finding any of those on a non-agriculture classified site. And now those classifieds are available on your smart phone.

Farms.com Classified Ap

The Classifieds app is great for busy farmers whether in the barn or in the fields. Users can browse through the classified listings and find anything from equipment to cattle for sale. The app features full size colour photos, allows users to save listings for future reference, map the seller’s location, and even contact the seller right from the app.

If you have something to sell, the Classifieds app makes it really simple to post a classified and add photos directly from your phone. It’s always free to post a classified ad on Farms.com Classifieds.

In addition to the Classifieds app, Farms.com also has the Used Farm Equipment app that features used farm equipment and machinery online. The Used Farm Equipment app was originally targeted to Ontario but after great demand has now expanded to the Western Canada market.

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
