Continental Farmers Group has purchased new agricultural machinery and equipment to upgrade its technical fleet.

Some of the machinery is already being used in the 2026 spring sowing campaign.

The company acquired 17 tractors of various capacity, 9 self-propelled sprayers, 7 seeders, 4 cultivators, trailed and storage equipment, as well as 2 combine harvesters and 1 potato harvester.

In addition, Continental upgraded its logistics fleet with 14 new tow trucks — dump semi-trailers — and 5 trucks, aiming to create a closed-loop logistics system “from field to elevator.”

In total, Continental Farmers Group invested $23.9 million in the renewal and modernization of its machinery fleet.

“Alongside agricultural machinery, we continue to develop logistics and upgrade our own vehicle fleet, thereby reducing dependence on external carriers. Control over this part of the supply chain allows us to optimize costs and respond more quickly to dynamic market changes.”

Continental noted that it is important for the company that machinery meets the requirements of precision farming: supporting section control, operation based on prescription maps, and remote monitoring. This helps save resources and improve the quality of field operations, so machinery is purchased as part of fleet standardization with integration into a telematics system.
