Ag Silo provides transparent, cheaper alternative to traditional auctions

BAKERSFIELD, CA (Jan. 31, 2023) — Ag Silo has launched its farming equipment marketplace to help farmers buy and sell equipment without high buyer or auction fees. The service makes it easier for farmers to find equipment outside their city and state.

“From Lincoln to Lubbock, we heard about farmers’ struggles with equipment auctions and hefty fees,” said CEO and Co-Founder of Ag Silo Martyn Gross. “We created Ag Silo to provide a better option for America’s farmers, who are the backbone of this country.”

Ag Silo’s online platform features competitive pricing nationwide.

“Ag Silo is not an auction site, but instead aims to keep more money in farmers’ pockets,” said Gross. “Farmers see the value in our pricing transparency and model; we already have $20 million in inventory listed on Ag Silo.”

Buyers and sellers can compare farm equipment prices across the country, which includes shipping costs.

“Farmers have needed a way to leverage the internet to market their equipment at reasonable fees for years,” said Mike Ratke, a farmer from Farwell, Texas. “Ag Silo does that. Finally, someone that cares about ag.”

Ag Silo does not charge a buyer’s fee; sellers pay a 4% fee on items sold.

If you are hankerin’ for home cooking just like grandma used to make with fresh ingredients, then look no further than Dixie House Cafe with locations in Fort Worth, Saginaw, and Euless. Dixie House, which was originally named Theresa’s Cafe after its owner, opened its first restaurant in 1983.

In the early days, it was just Theresa and one employee that ran the cafe. Between the two of them, they created mouth-watering meals from scratch using tried and true recipes. Dixie House is where the nostalgic vibe of a 60’s diner meets the charm of Southern hospitality and cooking. The portions are substantial, and the flavor is reminiscent of a time when meals were slow-cooked with families gathered in the kitchen and not hurriedly microwaved.

With most of America fighting off the winter blues and setting their sights on the warmth of spring, the rodeo world is already heating up. It is often common chatter about how the rodeo world really does not have an off season. In October when the regular season wraps up, it is not even a week before rodeo athletes start running to fall rodeos so they can start building up money toward the next year’s finals. It is true that fall rodeos do not have big payouts, but many athletes take the every dollar counts approach and throw several of them on the calendar.

November and December may be the slowest months of the rodeo year, but believe it or not, there are still plenty of places rodeo athletes can go and earn a small check. Traditionally the number of rodeos in the winter months is lower, but the few events that do happen tend to have big payouts. Pretty much every rodeo fan knows all about places like Denver, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Rapid City. These are all big scale events with huge payouts.
