Over the past two days, Ritchie Bros. held a large agricultural auction in Grande Prairie, selling more than $40 million worth of equipment, land, and trucks.
$18 million of that alone came from online bids online, with a total of more than 5,000 bidders.
The auctioneers have called it a “fantastic” start to the auction season, with strong pricing across the board even though there were no minimum bids.
Dozens of agricultural auctions are being held across the prairies over the next month.
