That’s one of the questions being tackled by Farmers Weekly,a multimedia information service for farmers and agricultural businesses in the UK. The company is doing a series of national profiles that looks at what brands are popular in other countries according to unit sales figures.

But unlike many other countries, our nation does not disclose market data on units sold by brand. So Farm Industry News had to take a slightly different spin when asked to do a ticker for our country. Here we address farm machinery buying trends, in general, and what’s driving our recent run in sales.
