Where to Find Rural Property, Sales and Marketplace Listings on Farm Online
Updated
Farm Online hosts three separate listing services alongside its news: Farmbuy Property for farm and rural real estate, Upcoming Sales for national livestock and clearing sales auctions, and AgTrader Marketplace for buying and selling farm inputs and produce. All three are reachable from the site's Quick Links and Network menus, and each sits on its own domain rather than inside the news section — so if you land on a Farm Online article, you won't find listings in the article feed itself.
The three listing services and what each one does
| Service | What it covers | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|
| Farmbuy Property | Farm and rural property listings — "Australia's home for farm and rural property" | Linked from Quick Links and Network |
| Upcoming Sales | National livestock and clearing sales auctions | Linked from Quick Links and Network |
| AgTrader Marketplace | Where farmers buy and sell — machinery, inputs and produce | Linked from Quick Links and Network |
Farm Online describes each of these as a "Discover" destination, which signals they are partner or sister platforms in the same agricultural network rather than sections of the news site.
How to navigate to them
- Open farmonline.com.au and locate the Quick Links block, which appears in the site's navigation area.
- Choose the destination that matches your task:
- Looking for land or a farm to buy → Farmbuy Property
- Looking for a livestock or clearing sale coming up → Upcoming Sales
- Looking to buy or sell machinery, inputs or produce → AgTrader Marketplace
- You can also reach the same destinations through the Network menu, which groups Farm Online's related sites together.
Expected result: you leave the news pages and land on the relevant listing platform, where you browse or search listings rather than read articles.
Where these fit relative to the news content
Farm Online's own news coverage is organised by round — rural property, agribusiness, agri-politics, machinery and weather — plus key commodities: beef, cropping, sheep and wool, and dairy. Property news (for example, a cattle station coming to market or a land-clearing ruling) appears in the news feed, while actual listings live on Farmbuy Property. Treat the news section as context and the three listing services as the transactional layer.
The site also carries a Property entry in its main navigation and a Markets section covering cattle, sheep and goat markets and market insights — useful for pricing context before you look at listings, but not a listing service itself.
Practical notes
- Subscriptions. Farm Online offers digital subscriptions and flags some content as premium. The site states that a digital subscription includes access to all content across its agricultural websites nationally, plus digital versions of print editions. Whether the three listing services require a subscription is not stated in the available material, so check each platform directly before assuming free access.
- Newsletters and alerts. The site offers newsletters and alerts, which can be a way to receive property and market updates without checking the site manually.
- Related network sites. The Network menu also lists titles such as Farm Weekly, Queensland Country Life, Stock Journal, Stock & Land and The Land, plus FarmOnline Weather and Horse Deals — useful if your interest is regional rather than national.
