The custom operators who buy the big machines, and when they buy.
Oxpium builds the list of custom harvesters and equipment co-ops in your territory, finds the owner, tells you when one of them is trading up, and runs the campaign.

Every outfit that runs machines for other farms, from the family crew to the co-op.
A family crew with two combines on the wheat run and a silage outfit with six choppers and twenty trucks don't buy the same things. Tell the agent the states, the service, the size: it searches public sources, business listings, professional databases, job postings and each outfit's website, and removes the duplicates.

312 outfits, 27 of them organized as co-ops.
A territory
A state, a few counties or a radius around your dealership. The agent covers the whole area, down to the outfits with a yard and a phone number.
A service
Wheat harvest, corn and soybeans, silage chopping, custom planting, spraying: the agent reads each website and keeps the outfits that do it.
A real size
A headcount from professional databases, or the number of combines and choppers shown on the website, to reach the crews that fit your offer.
A profile
Hiring operators right now, running a harvest route across several states, organized as a co-op: criteria you combine in a single sentence.
The owner, the iron, and the route they follow.
Most custom operators are family businesses: the owner runs the crew in the field, and someone at home base handles the books and the phone. In a co-op, the manager and the board decide together. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, row by row: the owner, the office email, the machines and the harvest route read from the website. Every email is verified before it's added.

The owner
Their name, with their email and cell when there is one: they decide on every combine, header and truck the outfit buys, often with family.
The office email
The agent reads each website, finds the office or home base email published there, and verifies it before it goes into the list.
Machines and crew
The combines, choppers and trucks each outfit shows on its website, with the crew size. When nothing is listed, the cell says “Not found”.
The harvest route
The states each crew works through and in which months, read from the website, so you know where they are and when they'll be home.
Automations that watch the yards for you, and tell you which outfit to call.
Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going on its own. Each automation reruns on schedule and moves to the top of the list what just changed: a crew opening, a combine listed for sale, a new service on the website, a new shop. Those are your signals, and you don't have to go looking for them.

Crews hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the outfits on your list that just posted an operator, driver or mechanic opening, with a “Hiring” badge.
Trading up
Every Monday, another rereads each website and flags the outfits listing a combine or chopper for sale: a newer one is usually on the way.
New services
Every month, the outfits that add a service to their website, like spraying, trucking or drone application, move to the top of the list.
Your own watch
Any watch you can put in one sentence, like a new shop or yard every Friday: the agent reruns it on schedule and tells you what changed.
A campaign that waits for the harvest to end.
From May to November a harvest crew is somewhere between Texas and the Canadian border, cutting from morning until the dew comes back. Equipment gets decided over the winter, back at home base, often before the end of the tax year. The campaign writes and calls around midday, from your own mailbox and your browser, and stops as soon as someone replies.
Subject listed_for_sale at outfit
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Between harvests
Start in late November: crews are home, the books are open, and the year-end decision on trading up a combine hasn't been made yet.
Around midday
Emails and calls go out from noon to 2 pm, when the owner is in the shop or the office and not on a machine with the cab radio on.
Calls from the browser
You call from your browser. Each call is recorded, transcribed and summarized in the list, right next to the outfit you were talking to.
A follow-up that read up
An agent step rereads the website and what the outfit just listed for sale to write the follow-up, and it all stops as soon as they reply.
Frequently asked questions
Write “custom harvesters, custom operators and equipment co-ops in Kansas and Nebraska”. The agent searches public sources, business listings and professional databases, reads each website to tell a wheat crew from a spraying outfit, and removes the duplicates. You get the city, the main service, the phone and the website of each one in a few minutes.
Ask the agent to read each website: most custom operators show their machines, their crew and the states they work through, often with photos and the year of each unit. When nothing is listed, the cell says “Not found”. The agent doesn't search equipment registrations or dealer records.
Tell the agent once: “every Monday, flag the outfits listing a combine, chopper or header for sale on their website”. The automation runs on its own, and the outfits that just listed a machine land at the top of your list with the unit they're selling.
An email around noon, a call two days later, an agent step that rereads the website and what the outfit has for sale, then a follow-up in the same thread. Run it between late November and March, when the crews are home. Emails leave from your own mailbox, calls from your browser are recorded, transcribed and summarized, and the sequence stops as soon as someone replies.
For 300 outfits with their website read, about 230 verified owner emails and 130 cell phones, count around €60 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges €1,500 to €2,500 for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Both, if you ask. Equipment-sharing co-ops are rare in the US and most of them have a small public footprint: the agent finds them through public sources, business listings and their own pages, and marks them as co-ops. In a co-op, the manager and the board decide together, so the person column holds the manager.
