What is a Farm Auction?

In basic term we understand an auction as a public sale where a property is sold at a specific time and place to a bidder. Most auctions require a person to get a bidder number or other identifying item prior to bidding. An item usually is started with low bid to higher  until an auctioneer raises the bid amount every time someone bids till there is no more bids on that item to the limited time and sell the item to the highest bidder.

                                                         Similarly a Farm Auction is also an auction specially conducted targeting the farmers as it includes many Farm Equipments, cattles, different varieties of crops, genetics and lands. Traditionally a farm auction was usually conducted once in a year where farmers sells and buys the items in the auction since it is very hard to conduct a farm auction as many farmers should be participating in it. So, nowadays an online farm auction is very popular among the farmers as it is very time efficiency we don’t have to attend the auction physically or visit the farm. Many online auction sites are there on internet to help you buy or sell your items with highest bid. As it is the  web based we can easily post our items online watch the bid and make sale fast and efficient. As some of the sites for farm auctions are free of cost or in another term  no comission auctions. Where as to conduct a traditional farm auction we have to pay higher management cost, transportation cost, product depreciation cost, and other unforeseen cost. And there are many risk too in traditional farm auction including finding a buyer or a seller or product on exact time when an auction is held. So, people prefer online auctions rather than traditionally auctions as it is less time consuming, easy to use and easy to find buyer and seller whenever you want to, all you have to is post or bid.
