From Fields to Fuel Tanks: Why Farms Need 24/7 Security Now
Protecting a farm isn’t just about guarding crops, it’s about safeguarding your livelihood. Remote fields, unlocked equipment sheds, and unmanned hours make farms uniquely vulnerable. From crop theft and fuel siphoning to machinery vandalism, these losses don’t just hurt your profit, they erode peace of mind too.
Why Farms Are Such Easy Targets
Remote, isolated locations: Many farms span wide areas with limited staff presence, making detection difficult.
High-value, mobile assets: Equipment like tractors, tools, and fuel tanks are big targets—and easy to take.
Underreported crime: A U.S. study estimated annual losses from farm-related theft and vandalism at over $5 billion, yet many incidents go unreported Office of Justice Programscriminology.fsu.edu.
Traditional Security Falls Short
Fencing, padlocks, and even dogs provide some defense, but they can’t cover every angle or moment. Studies show that most preventive measures—unless actively monitored—fail to reduce theft effectively criminology.fsu.edu. Farms remain at risk during low visibility periods, like dusk, harvest season, or overtime.
