Farmers Business Network - FBN 2.84

Farmers Business Network® is a rapidly expanding community comprising over 55,000 Family Farmers. It also operates as a technology and service provider committed to assisting Farmers in optimizing their farm's profitability through an AgTech platform that redefines value and convenience. The FBN® app is poised to become an indispensable tool on your farm, tailored to assist you in managing every aspect of your farming enterprise. Some key functionalities of the app include:

• Comparing Prices & Buying Inputs with Confidence: Access national average input prices before purchasing products. These pricing insights, sourced from fellow farmers within the network, are conveniently available on the FBN app. You can leverage this information to gain an understanding of the varied prices paid by other farmers in the network and seamlessly acquire the necessary crop protection, adjuvant, biological, and seed products by simply adding items to your cart and securely checking out via the app.
• Taking Charge of Your Crop Marketing: Unlike traditional spreadsheets, our crop marketing platform is equipped with features designed to enhance farmers' organization and knowledge. Paired with specialized tools, this platform ensures efficient management of this critical business function. You can input details about your planted acres, additional information like transportation and storage costs, with automatic calculation of hauling and production costs to help you ascertain your break-even price. With bids aggregated from numerous buyers, you can conveniently view local bids on the app instead of making multiple phone calls to track the local market. Sort bids by distance or target price with a single tap, and apply filters to view prices for immediate or future delivery. If your buyer is an FBN partner, you can submit offers and access your contracts, scale tickets, settlements – all through the app. For non-integrated buyers, document uploads and tracking are made uncomplicated. Additionally, market intelligence pertaining to commodity markets is integrated to keep you abreast of futures pricing, local weather updates, daily market insights, and a weekly grain markets podcast.
• Having Maps & Field Notes When You Need Them: Weekly addition of new EVI satellite images of your fields on the mobile app allows for on-the-go viewing to monitor crop health. If precision files have been added to your FBN account, they can be easily accessed via your cell phone. Capture photos, log field notes, and tag them with specific GPS coordinates for future reference as you or your team members traverse fields.
• Joining a Community of Family Farmers: At its core, FBN embodies a genuine community of farmers – a key differentiator from other farming applications. With a members-only forum, we facilitate interactions among farmers who share experiences and insights, offering assistance when facing common challenges. Trade tips and advice across various categories such as Agronomy, Farmer Hacks, Machinery, Marketing, Nutrition, Planting, Seeds, Soils, Spraying, Hay & Forage, Livestock and more.
