Growers Edge Crop Plan Warranty and Input Financing

Growers Edge is an agricultural fintech and data company headquartered in Johnston, Iowa, United States. It builds financial products that reduce the risk for farmers of adopting new inputs and sustainable practices, sold through ag retailers, input manufacturers and lenders, and it aims to support adoption on more than two million acres by 2030.

Its Crop Plan Warranty guarantees yields of new products so retailers can sell them and manufacturers can speed up adoption. Input Financing offers no-recourse financing for growers at the point of sale, while Farm Mortgage and Operating Financing serves farm buyers and lenders. Land and Portfolio Intelligence, formerly Agcor, and FarmlandIntel.com provide land valuations and historical crop and yield data for lenders.

• Crop Plan Warranty: yield guarantee on new products for retailers and manufacturers.
• Input Financing: no-recourse financing for growers offered through retailers.

• Fertiliser and biological input companies offering yield warranties to speed up adoption of new products.
• Agricultural dealers offering point-of-sale financing backed by a partner instead of informal credit.
• Banks using farmland valuation and yield history data to assess rural loan applications.

• Helps manufacturers and retailers sell new inputs by sharing yield risk with growers; over one million acres are protected through Crop Plan Warranty.
• Lets retailers offer financing at the point of sale without carrying the credit risk themselves.
• Gives lenders faster land valuations from a farmland platform covering over 144 million acres.
• Links finance to sustainable practice adoption that food companies can report.

Input makers and food companies want farmers to adopt new biologicals and low-carbon practices, but growers hesitate when yields are uncertain and credit is tight. In Vietnam, fertiliser and seed companies commonly extend credit through dealers, creating demand for risk-sharing warranties and embedded input finance models.
