At Farmers Business Network, we are on a mission to put Farmers First® by offering a one-stop-shop platform for products, services, and data that make a difference in farmers’ businesses and lives.
We are disrupting and transforming an industry that has been historically underserved by digital technology and innovation - whether it’s through providing access to high ROI farm inputs via our direct-to-farm e-commerce store, offering data science-driven agronomic insights about farmers’ paddocks, or helping farmers sell their crop more intelligently and independently.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental and foundational pillars of who we are and how we go about our business at FBN. We treat each other, and the communities we interact with, with respect, and celebrate the different perspectives and experiences that every team member brings. We have a strong, grassroots effort to advance DEI efforts at FBN, and we’re encouraging and empowering individuals at all levels across the organisation to get involved. Our DEI Co-Operative is a cross-functional group that partners across the organisation to advance initiatives related to diversity, equity and inclusion. The DEI Co-Op is focused on three categories of goals:
Education & Literacy
Explore and train employees on topics such as unconscious bias, anti-racism, allyship, and inclusive communication.
Community
Create and support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Several groups have been established by employees at all levels (including executive sponsors), such as Women @ FBN, PRIDE @ FBN (LGBTQIA+ ERG), Veterans n’ Farming and Adelante (Latinx ERG).
Talent
Design diverse and equitable recruiting and sourcing practices, perform pay equity analysis across functions, and develop a transparent internal mobility program.
Our Locations
Our 1,000+ employees work together across more than 40 office, facility, and warehouse locations - as well as the homes and co-working spaces of our remote colleagues.
