Take Control of the Buying Process
No more sending and managing quotes in spreadsheets and text messages! Finally, there’s an input management platform designed for farmers to manage prices, quotes and relationships with ag retailers.
Use The GROWERS App to gain access to products and services that may not be available locally but could benefit your farm. Your opportunities are no longer limited by the retailers in your county.
Managing Quotes Is This Easy:
STEP 1
Create an account and request input products and services.
STEP 2
Choose who to send your request to – your local retailers, our GROWERS Retail Network, or both.
STEP 3
Retailers will receive the request and respond with prices and product recommendations for you to review.
Farmers ON THE GROWERS APP
My first order from the app was with a retailer in the network, and it was really straightforward. It was as simple as accepting the quote from the retailer and getting the product. Everything’s taken care of after that. Plus, you have a GROWERS rep helping you out through the process, so if I did have questions, they got answered really quickly.Michael Troxler, second generation farmer in Guilford County, North Carolina

Once I receive pricing back from retailers, am I obligated to complete a transaction?
No, once pricing is returned from the retailers and the request has expired, the farmer can compare what’s been submitted and select which to move forward with if any.
What if I don’t receive any prices back from a price request?
There may be scenarios where pricing requests are not responded to by the retailers. If that’s the case, try resubmitting the pricing request and including the GROWERS Retail Network.
