CropLife Magazine Unveils 2021 Ranking of Top 100 U.S. Ag Retailers
CropLife magazine has published its annual CropLife 100, a listing of the largest U.S. ag retailers ranked by sales.
Companies included in the 2021 ranking were limited to independent dealerships and cooperatives offering four main product categories: fertilizer, crop protection products, seed, and custom application services. Figures do not include a host of services, such as data management, consulting/scouting, or grain elevator revenue.
Now in its 38th year, the CropLife 100 helps provide some insights into how those retailers with annual sales ranging from “several million dollars to multiple billion dollars” have done over the past growing season. Overall, CropLife 100 dealerships and cooperatives recorded just over $35 billion in revenue during the year, up more than $3 billion from the 2020 total — making 2021 one of the best years, sales-wise, the ag retail industry has ever seen, says CropLife Editor Eric Sfiligoj.
“Overall, revenue for the nation’s top ag retailers grew 11.7%, topping an all-time record of $35.4 billion,” he says. “This represented a marked improvement over the 2020 results, when the aftereffects of COVID-19 and wet/dry weather combined to depress CropLife 100 ag retailer sales 1.9%.”
