BASF continues its commitment to low-interest grower financing
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, October 1, 2024 – In preparation for the 2025 growing season, BASF is continuing its commitment to help provide affordable solutions for farmers by again offering zero-interest and low-interest financing of BASF products. The 2025 Grower Finance Program will offer farmers 0% APR on participating fungicide brands, including Veltyma®, Revytek®, and Revylok® fungicides and Liberty® herbicide through March 15, 2025, which allows farmers to mitigate commodity market fluctuations. Additionally, the program offers 1.99% APR on Xitavo® soybean seed, FiberMax® and Stoneville® cotton seed, and several participating seed brands. Terms and conditions apply.
“BASF understands the challenges of today’s economic climate on farmers and remains committed to finding solutions to help farmers doing the Biggest Job on Earth,” said Scott Kay, Vice President, BASF Agricultural Solutions US. “We remain committed to helping minimize the cost of financing, which allows growers and retailers to focus on creating the right agronomic plans for the upcoming season.”
With tightening economic conditions and challenging weather patterns heading into the 2025 season, growers will need to drive the yield potential of their crops while also guarding against environmental stressors such as heat and drought. Veltyma, Revytek and Revylok fungicides, the latest innovations in corn and soybean fungicides from BASF, give farmers consistency without compromise, delivering consistent performance, residual disease control, and environmental resiliency. Veltyma, Revytek, and Revylok fungicides have demonstrated yield enhancement 9 out of 10 times compared to untreated acres.1
Farmers are encouraged to take advantage of early season purchasing, to start planning for a strong finish, no matter the environmental conditions. 1.99% APR is available through March 15, 2025, on Seed Treatment, Clearfield® lentil seed, Clearfield® Plus wheat seed, Clearfield and Provisia® rice seed and InVigor® canola seed. After March 16, 2025, and through the remainder of the season (Sept. 30, 2025), the financing rate will be 4.99% APR. To qualify, farmers must make a minimum purchase of $5,000 of applicable BASF products.
For Xitavo soybean seed, 1.99% APR is available until January 15, 2025, then shifts to 4.99% APR from January 16, 2025, through July 31, 2025. Farmers must make a $5,000 minimum purchase of Xitavo soybean seed to qualify.
