Our Story

iFarm is NZ's leading livestock and agri-market information provider.

The company is owned by Jon Sherlock and Peter Fraser who took control in 2004.  With their combined experience in agriculture, consultancy, I.T. and market analysis they have grown iFarm into a respected provider of high quality and innovative market information services to NZ farmers & the agricultural industry.

From a staff of one back in 2004 (when the company was called Market Update), the iFarm team has grown to 3 full time and 15 part-time people.  Since 2004 there has also been major investment and development in the business happening behind the scenes.  This has included:

  • Expanding our network of industry contacts
  • Expansion of Market Insight into the South Island
  • Development of our information collection and database systems
  • The expansion of LivestockEye to provide comprehensive coverage of the sale-yard market

What we are all about

iFarm is an innovative company that is driven to provide NZ farmers with the best possible market information services they need to make fully informed buying and selling decisions - it's that simple.

Where we are headed

Our vision is to offer NZ farmers and the industry with a comprehensive range of quality market information services that today's farmers are crying out for.

We believe that the standard of the market information for decision support available to NZ sheep & beef farmers and the industry as a whole has been sadly lacking.  Especially when compared to what is available to competing producers in other countries. 

Our goal is to continue to develop innovative ways to deliver more valuable market information that really makes a difference on-farm.
