When it comes to being a member of FBN®, there are some definite advantages. Just ask any of our 55,000+ members and they’ll tell you how FBN has not only changed the way they do business on their operation, but also helped them secure huge savings along the way. 

Let’s take a look at some key benefits you’re missing out on by not buying your inputs through FBN Direct®.

1. Convenient, Online Shopping

One of the ways in which we are different from others in the ag space is that we offer our members the ability to go online and shop for the crop inputs they need. Right now, you can go to FBN.com and find herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, seed, animal health products like vaccines, antibiotics, implants, feed, and more — if you’re growing or raising, there’s no better place to find the products you need.

2. Direct-to-Farm Shipping

Now that you’ve found what you need and made your purchase, you can arrange to have it delivered right to your farm when you need it. No need to get in the truck, drive to town and pick your order up. We make sure you can prioritize your time on the essential tasks that need to get done on your operation, not on time-consuming errands. Plus, you can even choose your own delivery window to accommodate your specific availability and preferred delivery timeline.

3. Input Financing*

You can finance your input purchases with either an input loan or operating line of credit*. With flexible financing options, you’ll be able to do more for your operation like pay for key inputs, rent, equipment purchases and repairs, labor and more.

4. Competitively Priced Products

Browse the competitively-priced product selection at FBN Direct and you’ll see we sell both brand-name and generics. Often, they have the same active ingredient but the generic is priced lower than the branded product. You get comparable performance but at a better value.

5. Free Membership

Best of all, you can put all these benefits to work for you today when you join over 55,000+ farmer members in the U.S. and Canada - and it won’t cost you a penny.
