AgLinks is a free, simple, interactive business directory designed to connect people seeking products or services related to rural or agricultural needs to local businesses that can provide them.

Through the use of postal code information, advertising businesses can offer their services to local customers.  This benefits local farmers, rural residents and agricultural businesses.

HISTORY

Our founders, Jim Ford and Lynda Ford came together to establish AgLinks in 2020. Before launching, they met with businesses that supply products and services to rural property owners and even spoke to farmers themselves. Their feedback let them know that an online business directory for all things agricultural and rural was needed. That was when they knew AgLinks had to be created.

With a passion for agriculture and a background in the farming and corporate industry, the dynamic duo knew they could help.
