Today we welcomed the 10,000th farmer into the FBN℠ network! It’s a moment worthy of celebration, and one that impacts each and every one of us within this interconnected community of farmers. When Farmers Business Network℠ formed in 2014, we set out to transform industry practices that had been unfair to farmers for far too long. By leveraging price and performance data and tapping into the network strength of farmers across the continent, farming is getting better for farmers . The power of a network 10,000 farmers strong Together we’ve proved that there is strength in numbers. And as we continue to grow this network so will your ability to maximize profit potential on your own operation.  Here are ten ways this network 10,000 farms strong is delivering more and more value to you and your operation:  10. Farm smarter with groundbreaking reports and guides Valuable reports like our U.S. Seed Price Transparency Report and the Canola Seed Price Transparency Report are made possible because farmers like you have demanded greater access to greater transparency and reliable insights.  The price and performance data you anonymously contribute gives farmers across the FBN network a better picture of trends within the ag industry and helps you demand a fair price when buying inputs.  As we continue gathering more quality data from member farmers, you’ll receive even more groundbreaking guides and reports that put power back into your hands. 9. Save money buying inputs online Ten thousand farmers means more buying power, plain and simple. When you buy inputs online through FBN Direct℠ , you can save big building your management strategy and have your ag chemicals delivered straight to your farm without ever stepping away from your operation. Hearing about the money farmers are saving—thousands and thousands of dollars in many cases—is one of the most rewarding experiences for all of us at FBN . Plus as we continue to grow we’re able to expand our network of distribution centers across the U.S. and Canada, which means you’ll gain greater access to the chemicals you need when you need them at a fair price. 8. Boost your potential ROI planting conventional corn  This growing network of farmers paved the way for a new seed line aimed at giving you direct access to breeders and delivering quality genetics at a fair price. Last year more than 1,000 farmers planted F2F Genetics Network™ hybrids and varieties —led by our incredibly priced conventional corn seed —and the ROI numbers are looking great as harvest data rolls in. We’ve rolled out another strong lineup for 2020 and are eager to keep changing the seed ROI landscape together. 7. Connect and recharge at Farmer2Farmer We started hosting an annual meet-up in 2015 to better connect farmers across the FBN network, and a few hundred farmers showed up. That event has grown hand in hand with our network membership over the past five years, giving you the opportunity to connect with other farmers, access resources to strengthen your operation and learn how to get even more out of your FBN membership.  In 2019 we hosted our biggest and best Farmer2Farmer event yet , with more than 3,000 farmers gathering under one roof in Omaha. We’re already planning for next year and can’t wait to connect with even more farmers across the network at Farmer2Farmer VI. 6. Use data-driven tools to help your farm win Our data-driven approach to farming is leveling the playing field for farmers across the U.S. and Canada. Online tools like Seed Finder deliver real-world data on how hybrids and varieties actually perform across thousands of acres, giving you greater insight when you select seeds to plant on your operation . You can also control for conditions similar to your own farm and fields and use our price transparency tools to make sure you’re paying a fair price. Learn how to use Seed Finder to boost ROI on your operation. Thanks to farmers who contribute their data to the network, Seed Finder now features reliable performance information on more than 5,000 hybrids and varieties, effectively turning the whole world into your plot trial. 5. Find your grain marketing co-pilot One of the biggest challenges farmers face is knowing when and how to sell their grain. Particularly at the end of a challenging crop year, it can be extremely difficult to separate emotions from the decisions you need to make. Our crop marketing services are built around data science and fueled by the strength of the network. FBN Market Advisory members get access to online tools—including our newly launched HedgeCommand system —which provides data-backed insights, show you ways to maximize your farm’s profit potential and help take some of the emotion out of marketing your grain. "HedgeCommand gives me a simple way to see my current sales position and what I should be considering based on the current market. I can easily change my market viewpoint, which then instantly shows me recommendations of possible sales. It is now my quick, daily check to keep up on my position."  – Chris Clifford, Nebraska Testimonials are not indicative of future performance or success. 4. Get more decision-making power through price transparency We believe that price transparency is a basic consumer right, so one of the first things we did when FBN was formed was to invite farmers to anonymously contribute their input invoices. This data provides the basis for our price transparency reports and supports our Seed Finder and Savings Finder tools to help you ensure you’re getting a fair deal.  As more farmers join our network and upload invoices, you’re getting an even clearer picture of what others are paying for seed and chemicals—and that’s putting power back in your hands. 3. Find crop insurance coverage that meets your unique needs Coming out of a challenging year such as this, you’re keenly aware of your need for a crop insurance policy you can count on. In another effort to put Farmers First® , we created FBN Crop Insurance to offer a full suite of insurance products.  Our data-driven tools are able to crunch the numbers when you upload your AIP data and show you coverage options that are best suited to meet your operation’s unique needs. "FBN told us about a crop insurance product we weren't even aware of that could save us money and give us better coverage.That's a win-win." – Tom Pitstick, Ohio 2. Gain access to affordable health coverage for farmers  Just about any American farmer can attest to the challenges of finding quality, affordable health coverage that fits you and your family’s needs. You’re often stuck paying a bigger share of your plan’s premium, and sometimes coverage levels place even more financial burdens on your operation. But we told ourselves when FBN formed that if it’s good for farmers, we’re going to do it. That’s why we launched FBN Health . By utilizing the size of the network, we’re able to offer competitive rates and quality coverage—giving you and your family access to greater well-being and peace of mind. When we hear from farmers like Michael Bergen who are looking at saving thousands of dollars getting coverage through FBN Health, we know that we’re doing the right thing. 1. Participate in a community of farmers When people ask me what FBN is, I always tell them that we are first and foremost a connected network and community of farmers. We’re providing you with a way to connect with other farmers, share insights and learn from one another so that together we can level the playing field and make farming better for farmers. And as this community grows, you’re able to develop relationships with other farmers—both virtually through our FBN Community app as well as in person at events like Farmer2Farmer and other regional meet-ups—to support your own practice and build an even stronger network for everyone. Let’s keep making farming better for farmers—together Do you want to be part of this movement that is changing the face of the entire industry and, rightfully so, putting Farmers First® ?

1. Understand what is affecting your yields inside all your fields.   Which fields did you overplant? In the new FBN Analytics , you can see how your yields varied by seeding rates, planting speed, elevation, crop rotation and Soil Productivity Index inside every field for any growing season. By selecting a particular year or “All Years” you can now understand variability between growing seasons and analyze multi-year trends. By seeing yields by Soil Productivity Index, you can determine how much your soil quality affected your production.   2. Discover seed profitability and costs for every field and every seed.  Which seeds made you the most money? By combining your seed costs with your precision data, the new FBN Analytics break out which seeds had the best price-to-yield ratio on every field. Was that expensive racehorse hybrid worth it? Did upping your seeding rate payoff? FBN Analytics calculate each seed’s cost per bushel and cost per acre for every field and your whole farm.   3. Benchmark yields by nitrogen use, crop rotation, and tillage. See how your whole farm and each of your fields compare to other growers like you on key agronomic variables. Are you over applying nitrogen? Now you can see how your yields compared to other growers using the same application rates in your region. How are your no-till or strip-till acres performing? Are you optimizing your continuous corn rotations? Find out how you stack up on these and 8 other critical benchmarking variables. 4. Rank your seeds by profitability, yield, and soil type across your entire operation. The new FBN Analytics allow you to view how well varieties performed not just by yield, but by soil type, profitability, and cost, across your whole operation. You can quickly determine which seeds performed the best in your soil types across all your acres, and which ones lagged. Plus, you can see how each seed’s performance on a given soil type benchmarked to other farms that planted the same seeds on the same soils. 5. See how planting temperature, precipitation, and tillage affected yields on your operation.  What was your highest yielding planting temperature? The new FBN Analytics break out how planting temperatures impacted yields for your whole enterprise for any given year, or analyze multi-year trends. Are your fields spread over many miles? Yield by Precipitation highlights the impact of field weather. How are your tillage practices yielding across your farm? View yield by tillage at the enterprise, farm, and field level. 6. Smarter seed placement with enhanced soil type profiles.  In the new soil type profiles, you can quickly see which fields contain a given soil type and on how many acres. Plus, for any soil type, the top 25 yielding seeds with full performance profiles are just a click away. The FBN dataset has performance information on over 4,500 US soil types that cover over 500 million acres. 7. Search over 1,500 seeds faster in the enhanced FBN Seed Finder ℠ .  Interested in finding the best 105 day WYFFELS ® seeds on Drummer soil, drained, in 2015?  Seed Finder now remembers your search criteria, so when you click out of each seed profile you can pick up exactly where you left off!   8. Navigate more intuitively with lightning fast page loads.  We’ve spent countless hours working with our farmers to build the most intuitive FBN system possible. Now you can seamlessly switch between the enterprise, farm, and field levels on the same analytics. Easily view maps without having to navigate away from your field data. Keep all your data files and field events organized, dig into Seed Finder, or check prices in Procurement, and as always, do it at lightning fast speeds.

Farmers now have greater confidence and power when it comes to selecting and purchasing seed— F2F Genetics Network™  from Farmers Business Network  creates transparency on seed price, yield performance and genetics. We’re getting rid of the games and gimmicks that define seed buying—like lack of transparency on pricing, hidden discounts and product performance, sweetheart deals, zone pricing, and confusing genetic identity, which makes it incredibly difficult to know if you're paying a fair price for seed, or you're getting the right genetics for your farm. Why Join a Seed Network? Farmers are participating in accelerated seed innovation (versus just passively consuming what seed companies determine is best for them) Simplified structure of bringing new genetics at a lower cost direct to farm Transparency on data, pricing and genetic/parental lineage of seed so you can manage risk at whatever level fits your farm best 1. A Seed Network Gets Farmers Closer to Breeders For the first time, a farmer doesn't have to rely on the product development process of a multinational seed company.  Instead, farmers have the opportunity to work directly with hybrids and varieties coming from a network of breeders. The breeders are then able to develop and identify high-performing genetics, and farmers can then help them to identify the traits that will work well for those genetics on your farm. By bringing new and different genetics separately from trait technology, we have the opportunity to bring to you products that work at a lower cost. When you plant them, you and other farmers in the network are contributing anonymized product performance data that helps to create the industry’s only unbiased and transparent dataset on seed. When farmers and breeders are working more closely together, farmers can actually help drive new seed development . This means breeders then have access to anonymized, aggregated, real-world performance data they can use to develop new seed with a thorough understanding of micro-environments and agronomics. Our breeder network will have more access to more unique field environments than any other group of breeders. 2. Farmers Play a Big Part of Seed Development Isn’t it time that you helped shape the future of seed genetics around your own farm instead of the seed industry shaping it for you? As part of a seed network, farmers earn their low price and top performers by shaping the technology the plant and grow , by driving research and innovation on their own farms, and going from consumers to creators of seed. Because farmers are a part of the seed development process, you have the opportunity to help breeders understand exactly how those products perform in terms of unique soil types, soil productivity and plant populations, as well as many other agronomic variables that you manage on your farm. And you’ll have an ability to hold back seed for one additional planting and harvest season* 3. Transparency on Performance Data, Pricing, and Genetics We focus on seed products that can bring profitability to your farm alongside more complete data transparency , so you can understand how to manage the hybrids or varieties you choose. This is the first time ever that farmers are going to be able to have more transparency over the performance and genetic lineage of products that they're planting .  You won’t have to count on a company agronomist or district manager to be transparent, you will have the actual real-world data. And we’re not bound to confusing licensing and trait agreements, so we have more flexibility in what we offer than multinational seed companies do. We are not handcuffed to specific genetic or trait packages. Farmers in the seed network will also get a first look each year at new hybrids or varieties released in the spring by participating in our F2F Trailblazers program. We’re also cutting out multiple layers of distribution that increase cost and cause confusion around product performance. If you participate in the network you get access to insights—no games, no gimmicks. 4. Direct-to-Farm Seed at a Lower Cost Buying seed direct to farm from the F2F Genetics Network means you can get the the right varieties and hybrids for your farm without haggling or being controlled by big multinational seed companies. And by shipping direct to your farm, we can get youhigh-performing genetics at a price every farm can afford. FBN was created to give farmers more power and better options when they go to buy seed. It's at the core of our network, and the core of our principle as a data-sharing community. F2F Genetics Network puts farmers first combining our independent network of breeders, universities, and technology companies with cutting-edge data science and the FBN farmer-to-farmer network. *Additional terms & conditions apply and are subject to change. “F2F Genetics Network”, Soy+1 and F2F are trademarks of Farmer’s Business Network, Inc. “F2F Genetics Network branded seed products and other seed products are offered by FBN Inputs, LLC and are available only in states where FBN Inputs, LLC is licensed.

Seed companies routinely label the same seeds under multiple brands with dramatically different prices. It's a practice we call seed relabeling .  We believe seed information transparency is your basic right as a farmer, consumer and central to the  FBN℠  mission of putting  Farmers First ℠ . That's why we've  updated the industry's first and only seed relabeling report for 2018 . It shares findings from more than twice the amount of anonymized, aggregated seed tag data and invoices contributed by  FBN network members.  We hope this analysis helps you find the right inputs at the best prices for your farm. Read the Updated 2018 Seed Relabeling Report What are Farmers Saying about Seed Relabeling? "I typically buy  seed  from many brands, so I thought I had a good sense of the market.  But through the FBN  Relabeling  Study, I found out I could have saved $20/bag on beans and $25/bag on corn  seeds  identical to ones I was already planting!" "I deliberately break up my seed orders to spread genetic risk across brands and maturities. I now see that my Croplan R2C5225S selection is THE EXACT SAME VARIETY I ALSO BOUGHT FROM MYCOGEN (5N523 -- R2)! So much for genetic diversity in my seed selection...This bothers me on so many levels." EXCLUSIVE FBN MEMBER BENEFIT Does Seed Relabeling Affect You? The same seeds you use could cost less from other brands.  FBN m embers get  personalized reports  that identify identical varieties to those used on your farm.   To receive your personalized report, join FBN and  send images of your seed bag tags to: data@farmersbusinessnetwork.com What's Inside? Our study found that relabeling is a widespread practice, affecting 95% of farmers and represents a $2.5 billion segment of the seed industry . "Relabeling" is when a seed manufacturer sells an identical seed variety also sold by other brands, often for very different prices. Which brands relabel the most?  Which decline to publish the actual variety IDs of their seeds?  How much relabeling is really going on? Which companies share seed with eachother? Relabeling can cost you, but armed with the right information, can benefit you as well.  Many seed companies may be able to offer you top varieties at better prices or with better service.  The key is that you be informed when you buy.
