3/9/2021 Farmers Business Network has added an animal health and nutrition platform to its portfolio of services and products, and announced it has acquired the Prairie Livestock Supply businesses to provide more choice for independent livestock producers and more competition for their business. The launch of services and products for livestock producers is a natural extension of the company’s mission, says Charles Baron, cofounder of FBN and the company’s vice president of livestock. “What’s important to FBN is to help farmers maximize profit potential across the breadth of the farm. For many of our members, livestock is just as important as crop production,” he says. “Well over half of our 24,000 members have livestock. We want to be able to support and help them in the exact same platform.”
