Farmers Business Network has just pulled together the 2019 U.S. Seed Price Transparency Report - that breaks down just how predominant the issue of seed price transparency, or a lack thereof, is for farming family businesses in the U.S.
The report summarizes some of the recent trends that we've observed in seed pricing based on information provided anonymously to FBN by our members.
THE PROBLEM: FARMERS PAY RADICALLY DIFFERENT PRICES FOR THE EXACT SAME SEEDS.

The report itself is full of insights that can only be analyzed by FBN. It has graphs, insights, actions farmers need to take in the short and long-term.
At Farmers Business Network we believe that price transparency is a basic consumer right. Farmers deserve transparency when purchasing products for their farm, especially inputs. Input price transparency enables farmers to make better-informed decisions that can help increase the farm's overall profit potential.
