Agriculture
Driving the Future of Sustainable Farming
As the UK undergoes its most significant transformation in agricultural policy in over 50 years, farmers and equipment manufacturers alike face growing pressure to adapt. With the government’s Farming and Countryside Programme led by Defra phasing out direct payments in favour of schemes that reward environmental stewardship and productivity, the landscape of UK agriculture is changing rapidly.
​
According to the National Audit Office’s 2024 report, 39% of farms may need to improve productivity just to remain viable after 2028. With subsidies disappearing, farmers are being asked to do more with less—making technology and innovation mission-critical to long-term success.
Lister Fluid Power helps OEMs build the next generation of smarter, greener, and more efficient farm machinery. Our hydraulic hose assemblies are built using top-tier brands like Gates, Parker, and Manuli, known for their specialist agricultural performance.

The benefits are clear:

We also support cost savings through product rationalisation, which reduces production cost, thus allowing OEMs to pass those savings on to farmers. The result? Greater profit margins and more sustainable operations. Read our latest case study to know how product rationalisation can benefit you as a farm equipment manufacturer.
