Unlock Your Free Access to the Price Transparency Tool

Pricing insights on products are generated from actual retail invoices submitted by thousands of FBN farmer members. Unlock your free access to the Price Transparency Tool by submitting a recent non-FBN chem invoice in one of four ways:

  1. Forward your invoice to data@farmersbusinessnetwork.com

  2. Upload your invoice at our dedicated Price Transparency Tool page

  3. Upload your invoice on any ag chem product page across FBN

  4. Upload invoices directly via the FBN app by clicking here

We'll process your submission in less than 48 hours.

Sharing your invoices is simple and secure. FBN Data Science aggregates and anonymizes all submissions to continuously update price intelligence throughout the year. 

How to Use FBN's Price Transparency Tool

Price transparency is available on FBN product pages when members log into their accounts. Sign up for FBN membership here.

On a chem product page, scroll down to find price intelligence.

Hover over price points to see price ranges and toggle the time selector to view by date range.

Farmers Helping Farmers Build Price Transparency

"Price transparency has been a core principle of FBN since our inception," said Charles Baron, FBN co-founder. “The benefits of being part of a network like FBN is that it keeps getting better as more farms participate — there is real strength in numbers. Each invoice farmers add not only gives your farm more power, access, and control in the market, it benefits all members.”

The Price Transparency Tool is only as powerful as the data submitted by our farmer network. Farmers can submit data at any time.

Benefits of FBN’s Price Transparency Tool

As this year’s Ag Chem Price Transparency Report highlights, the persistent and widespread lack of transparency in the ag chem marketplace continues to present an ongoing challenge for farmers on both a regional and national scale, with farmers paying as much as 4 times as one another for similar products. 

The Price Transparency Tool gives you confidence in your ag chem purchasing decisions. This game-changing tool empowers growers to:

  • See the full range of prices farmers are paying nationally

  • Benchmark your prices to easily compare against other farms

  • Track seasonal price trends

  • See how chemical prices change over time
