HORIZON AG NEWS
Faced with another year of challenging commodity prices and high costs, growers need an edge when it comes to their seed purchases and other input costs.
That’s why Horizon Ag, partnering with BASF and John Deere Financial, is proud to offer rice growers fixed financing on Horizon Ag Clearfield and Provisia seed for the 2025 season.
Farmers can order early to secure a fixed 1.99% financing rate incentive on Clearfield and Provisia rice seed and select BASF products until Mar. 15, 2025. The financing rate increases to 4.99% on purchases from Mar. 16 until Sept. 30, 2025.
“Although there appears to be some relief on the horizon, growers this season are still facing high interest rates, which increases the cost of borrowing money, and can limit their profit potential,” says Horizon Ag CEO Dr. Tim Walker. “Offering low fixed rate financing for our top-yielding varieties is our way of showing we are standing with growers, not just by providing high-yielding varieties, but also helping them manage their financing in 2025.”
Eligible products include all of the Horizon Ag Clearfield varieties, including CLL18, CLL19, and CLL16, and Provisia varieties PVL03 and PVL04. Also included are new varieties this season, CLM05 and CLHA03, as well as select BASF products for rice.
Products may be purchased at different times from one or multiple Horizon Ag Authorized Retailers, using their Multi-Use Account from John Deere Financial. Terms and conditions apply.
For full details, see BASF Finance Program or contact your local BASF Authorized Retailer or Horizon Ag Authorized Retailer.
