What products should FBN carry that they currently aren't?

Question

Personally, I would like to see more sorghum insecticides like Sivanto, Transform and Comite.  Also wish they carried corn miticide products like Zeal SC.  I realize spider mites and sugar cane aphids aren't a problem everywhere but they are our number one pest here.  FBN has saved me a lot of money on chemicals but I could save even more if there were more products like these available.  And after the way 2020 has went, we need all the help we can get!

Answer

Thanks Andy and Jeremy, our teams are working on a range of new programs across seed, chem, biostimulants and livestock supplies.  Please keep the requests coming!

Answer

****,  or anyone else,  I'm not sure how to message just one person so send me an email at ******************* and we can chat about cover crop rye.

Answer

I wish they carried cover crop seed or could source and price it for us. Sometimes in central MO it is hard to source good bulk CC seed like cereal rye.

Answer

Are they going to carry Royal Grow products 
We hope so it would make it easier for us to get them

Answer

Some of these might have been made available since I  last checked when ordering last winter, but here goes.

Trivapro, Granular Sugar, Miravis Ace, Palisade, Harmony Extra, Interlock, Delaro, Start Right.

Answer

Conventional soybeans not the organic brands. In late 4 maturity for Arkansas climate.

Answer

I’d like to see more foliar fertilizer available. 
More products for nuts

Answer

Fertilizer would be great.  Help us negotiate with the big guys.  Cover crop seed would also be great.

Answer

Hopefully they can get canola corn and soybean seed here in Canada.

Answer

I would like to see wheat herbicides. I have tried to buy them from FBN the last 2 years there were very few available.

Answer

canola seed is long overdue in my view, also fertilizer availability would help a lot

Answer

If FBN could be competitive with fertilizer (dry and/or liquid) offerings that would be great. I realize selling fertilizer is a little different than chemicals and seed. Not sure how many could take advantage of FBN offering delivered fertilizer unless they have on farm storage. I think that’s an edge local fertilizer dealers have is they can give you a double cone or they have dry bins at their place to hold product until you need it, thus hopefully securing good prices to pass on.

Answer

More fungicides and insecticides for specialty crops

Answer

Humic acid

Answer

Brand name herbicides where there is no generic option yet, would really increase the portfolio for Canadian farmers.

Answer

I wish there was a way you could collect and post localized fertilizer prices much like you do seed and chemicals, even if you don't sell the product.

Answer

I would like to see bulk fertilizer straight from the source and cut out the middlemen.  Where FBN brokers the deal and I go pick it up or arrange trucking.  Based on an earlier post guy could afford to buy cone bottoms for storage with the savings or a trailer to hold dry.

Also like the earlier post about  posting fertilizer prices.  And along the same line it would be interesting to be able to drill down in the data of chemical/fertilizer prices to see a map of where the prices are coming from in addition to high/low/avg.
