Where can I buy a list of UK farmers with names, addresses and phone numbers?
You can buy it here as an Excel or CSV file. We hold 22,362 farm records across mixed, arable, livestock and dairy farms. 21,022 of them name a contact, usually the farmer or a farming partner, and all of them have a postal address and a phone number. Only 1,410 carry that person's own email, about 6%, so treat it as a post and phone list. Ask for a free count by farm type and area before you order.
What you get when you buy farms data
One record is one farm business, listed at the address it trades from, which is usually the farmhouse or farm office. This is how many you can reach by each route.
| Channel | Records with it | Share | Coverage | What it means for farms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Post | 22,362 | 100% | Strong | Every one of the 22,362 records has a full address. A letter is the channel that suits farming best: it sits on the kitchen table until the evening paperwork, and it reaches every farm whatever its legal form. |
| Phone | 22,362 | 100% | Strong | Every record has a number too. Often it is the farm's main landline, so plan for call-backs and a short message rather than a long pitch on the first try. |
| Named contact | 21,022 | 94% | Strong | 21,022 records name a person. On a family farm that is nearly always someone who can say yes, so a letter addressed by name is worth the small effort. |
| Email | 1,410 | 6% | Thin | Only 1,410 records have the named person's email. That is too few to build a campaign on, and many of those farmers will need to have opted in before you email them. |
| General email | 310 | 1% | Usable, with care | A further 310 records hold a general farm email. Many farms use one shared address for the whole family business, so treat it like the named email: check how the farm is set up before you send anything. |
Records with each contact channel (22,362 farms in all)
Each farm sits in one main type. A farm is filed under the type that best describes it, so a farm that keeps a dairy herd and grows its own cereals may be under dairy or under mixed. If your offer works for any farm with cows, take dairy, livestock and mixed together rather than relying on one label.
Some rural businesses are kept apart. Livestock breeders (2,152 records), poultry farmers (350), farm contractors (1,503) and farm shops (793) are separate categories and are not in the four types below. They are only counted if you ask. Estates and land-owning companies may appear under whichever farm type they run.
The types of farms you can choose from
Mixed farms make up over half the records. Take them for anything that both crop and stock farms buy, such as insurance, energy, buildings, finance or advice. Take arable alone for crop inputs, grain storage and drying, or cultivation kit. Take livestock for feed, animal health, handling equipment and fencing. Take dairy for anything tied to milking, cooling or herd records; it also has more named emails per record than livestock, though still few. For a crop-only or stock-only product, adding mixed farms usually helps, because many of them run that side too.
| Type | Records | Phone numbers | Named contacts | Named emails |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed farms | 12,890 | 12,890 | 11,985 | 730 |
| Arable farms | 3,295 | 3,295 | 3,130 | 411 |
| Livestock farms | 2,805 | 2,805 | 2,661 | 76 |
| Dairy farms | 3,372 | 3,372 | 3,246 | 193 |
Who the named contacts are
The named contact is usually the farmer: the owner, the tenant or one of the family partners. On a family farm, buying decisions are often shared, and the partner who keeps the books may handle bills, contracts and paperwork while the other runs the land or the herd. Larger farms and estates may name a farm manager, who buys day-to-day inputs and passes big spending to the owners. Where a farm is a limited company, the farmer is usually named as a director.
- Farmer
- Owner
- Partner
- Director
- Farm manager
- Estate manager
Narrowing by title rarely helps here. Farmer, owner and partner describe the same person on most farms, so a title cut mainly throws away usable records. Only ask for it if you sell to managers on larger holdings, and check the count first, because farm manager records will be a small share of the list.
Selections worth paying for with farms
These are the selections we can make. The verdicts reflect how farm records look: one main farm type each, a named farmer on most, every record with a phone number, and very few emails.
| Select by | For farms | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Type of business | Worth it | The selection that matters most. Choose from mixed, arable, livestock and dairy so your letter talks about the farming the reader actually does. Every type you drop also cuts the cost. |
| Postcode area or radius | Worth it | Worth it if a rep, engineer or delivery lorry has to reach the farm. Farms are spread out, so draw the radius by real travel time, not a neat circle on the map. |
| Region or county | Worth it | Useful for a regional dealer, a test mailing before a wider roll-out, or a show or event in one area. Your free count shows how the four farm types split in the counties you pick. |
| Number of employees | Sometimes | Most farms are run by the family with little or no staff, so expect a size cut to remove a lot. It can help if you sell something priced for bigger operations, but check the count first. |
| Records with an email only | Rarely needed | This leaves 1,410 records out of 22,362, and many of those may be sole traders or partnerships you can't email without consent. Not worth building an order around. |
| Job title | Rarely needed | Farmer, owner and partner are usually one person. A title filter mostly removes good records. |
| Records with a phone number only | Rarely needed | Every farm record we hold already has a phone number, so this selection changes nothing. Leave it off. |

Price per 1,000 records by order size (excluding VAT)
Buying all four types together moves the order into a cheaper band: £195 per 1,000 rather than £220 for mixed farms alone. So if two or three types suit you, price the whole list as well before you decide. Don't pay extra for the email-only cut: it is a small order at the top rate, and most of what you would use is the address and phone number that come with every record anyway.
Licence, accuracy, screening and delivery
The 12-month licence fits the farming year. A farmer who can't talk during lambing, silage or harvest may be ready a few months later, and you can write or call again without buying the list twice. Plan calls with the screening date in mind: it covers 28 days from delivery, so if your calling stretches across a busy season, screen the numbers again before you pick it up. Farms change hands and pass between generations, so when you check your sample, look for names that match the farm and use returned post as your evidence if a record is wrong.
The full terms in plain English are on our buying terms page.
Using farms data legally
We don't show a legal-status table for farms. As a general point, though, many farms are run by sole traders or family partnerships rather than limited companies, and you can't tell which from a farm name. That matters for email. The ICO says sole traders and some partnerships are treated as individuals, so you can only email or text them if they have specifically consented, or if they bought something similar from you and didn't opt out. It also says that existing-customer exception doesn't cover new contacts from bought-in lists. You can email a corporate body, such as a limited company running a farm.
The ICO's definition of electronic mail covers emails, texts and similar stored messages, not letters. That is one more reason post suits this list. A named farmer's details are still personal data, so keep a list of anyone who asks you to stop, and check it before every mailing and call round. Phone numbers come screened against the TPS and CTPS.
Before you buy farms data: questions to settle
- Which farm types does your offer suit? Decide between mixed, arable, livestock and dairy before you ask for a count.
- Do you also want breeders, poultry farms, contractors or farm shops? They are separate categories and only included if you ask.
- Have you budgeted for post? With about 6% of records holding a named email, letters and calls will do most of the work.
- How will you treat the emails you do get? Agree how you will check whether a farm is a company before anyone sends an email or text.
- When in the farming year will you make contact? Time your letters and calls around the busy spells for the types you chose.
- How far can you travel or deliver? Set the radius by real journey times, and check the order clears the £300 minimum.
- Have you checked the sample? Make sure the farm types and names look like the farms you want to reach.
Questions about buying farms data
Where can I buy a list of UK farmers with names, addresses and phone numbers?
You can buy it here as an Excel or CSV file. We hold 22,362 farm records across mixed, arable, livestock and dairy farms. 21,022 of them name a contact, usually the farmer or a farming partner, and all of them have a postal address and a phone number. Only 1,410 carry that person's own email, about 6%, so treat it as a post and phone list. Ask for a free count by farm type and area before you order.
Can I buy an email list of UK farmers?
Only a small one. 1,410 of the 22,362 farm records we hold have a named email, and many farmers can only be emailed with their consent. Most buyers take the whole list for letters and calls, then use email with farmers who reply.
Can I buy dairy farms only, or arable farms only?
Yes. Each of the four types can be bought on its own or in any mix. Bear in mind a farm sits in one main type, so a mixed farm with a dairy herd may not be in the dairy list. Ask for a count of both if that matters to your offer.
Who will my letter reach on a farm?
On most records, a named farmer, owner or partner at the farm address. That person usually has a say in what the farm buys. Larger farms and estates may name a farm manager instead.
Is it cheaper to buy one farm type or all four?
Per record, all four is cheaper, because a bigger order is charged at a lower rate per 1,000. In total, one type costs less. Price both if more than one type suits your offer.
How much does farms data cost?
All 22,362 records: £4,360.59 excluding VAT, at £195 per 1,000. The 1,410 with a named email: £415.95. Orders under 2,500 records are £295 per 1,000, and the minimum order is £300 plus VAT. Your quote gives the exact figure.
