Businesses in this field have been through a considerable amount of change throughout the last few decades.

As new technologies have been introduced to the agricultural market, the range of products and services has increased dramatically. Not only this, how these businesses market their products and services, and communicate with farmers has changed dramatically, particularly over the last ten years. Agriculture in general has been somewhat slower than various other industries to take up the web and all it's possibilities. Because the younger generation of farmers come through, this is rapidly changing. Rural supplies companies have started to pickup on this trend and also this has lead to a growing number of firms getting online. While having a website is important, the entire possibilities of web based marketing are a long way off being utilised.

As increasing numbers of farmers move online; whether it be through Facebook, forums, simple Google searches; blogs etc. firms must be involved in this digital marketplace to be able to capture their target audience. The traditional methods of magazine and newspaper advertising is rapidly being replaced by online directories and news suppliers. An extended with this suppliers are starting to realise the benefits of a properly presented and optimised website. Not only does this offer incumbent suppliers a great opportunity, it also gives the opportunity for new companies ahead into the market place as the initial 'land grab' of the digital agricultural market takes place.
