Inside a Major UK Farm Machinery Auction and Can Online Platforms Beat Traditional Grain Buyers?

Today we head to the Cheffins Machinery Auction for a full behind-the-scenes look at how farm machinery is bought, sold, and shipped around the world. From understanding how professional agricultural auctions work to seeing the incredible range of tractors, tools, and equipment on offer, this is a rare insight into one of the biggest trading hubs in UK agriculture.We follow James as he debates whether to spend or sell, explore shipping machinery overseas, and reveal exactly what we sold at auction. We also take a deep dive into modern grain marketing using Hectare Trading, showing how we’re finding new buyers for our mustard, how online grain trading works, and what it means for the future of farm cashflow and transparency.Along the way we discuss the average age of UK farmers, what that means for the future of British agriculture, and how digital platforms, auctions, and smarter trading could change the next generation of farming forever.For those interested in our new merchandise:https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/P.X.
