Why Early Seed Orders Matter
As we look ahead to the next growing season, there’s one decision that’s already looming large: seed selection. But the timing of your seed order is just as important as choosing the right variety. At Ag Plus, we encourage our growers to consider placing their seed orders early—and for good reason. In this blog post, we’ll explain why booking early matters, how financing can ease the burden, and the benefits of securing your seed order now.
Why Early Seed Orders Matter
The seed selection process is critical to a successful growing season. However, timing is equally important. Here's why ordering your seeds early can make a big difference:
Ensure Access to the Best Genetics
The best seed varieties don’t stay available for long. By ordering early, you can lock in the elite genetics that will help you reach your yield potential. Whether you're looking for high-yield corn hybrids or disease-tolerant soybeans, ordering early ensures you get the seed that’s specifically tailored to your farm's unique environment.
Every farm is different, with its own challenges such as soil types, climate conditions, pest pressures, and disease history. The earlier you select your seed, the more flexibility you’ll have in choosing varieties that best match your farm’s needs.
Avoid Supply Chain Issues
Like many industries, agriculture is not immune to supply chain challenges. Waiting until the last minute to order seed can lead to shortages or delays, leaving you scrambling for alternatives.
Take Advantage of Discounts and Promotions
Seed companies often offer early-order discounts or loyalty rewards for growers who book their seed ahead of time. These promotions can translate into significant savings, lowering your overall input costs. Early booking also means you can better manage your cash flow by spreading out your purchases over time, instead of facing a hefty bill all at once.
Ag Plus Seed Financing
We understand that placing large seed orders can create financial pressure, especially when cash flow is needed for other parts of your operation. That’s where our seed financing comes in.
At Ag Plus, we offer seed financing through CFA (Cooperative Finance Association) and John Deere Financial. This means you can spread your seed payments over time without accruing interest, freeing up your capital for other critical expenses throughout the year.
Financing allows you to lock in your seed at the best price now, without needing to make a full payment upfront. The terms are designed to match your growing season, with payments typically due after your crop is harvested and sold. This flexibility reduces the financial strain and helps improve your cash flow management.
