“I know it’s bad but to be honest I keep up with what’s happening on Facebook.”
A Waikato farmer told me that last year. Sitting behind the cows, scrolling the feed, catching up on what’s happening in his community.
No laptop, No desktop and No scheduled time to browse. Just their phone, a slow herd, and a few minutes to stay connected to the world outside the farm gate.
That’s rural Facebook in 2026. It’s not glamorous and farmers will be the first to tell you they probably spend too much time on it, but they’re on it. Every day, in the shed, in the ute, waiting for the next mob to move through.
If your agribusiness isn’t showing up in that feed, you’re missing the conversation entirely.
