    FBN Farmers Business Network? Who is a member and how do they like it.

    We joined a couple years ago and I like some of what they have to offer.

    What is it?

    Farmers Business Network is proudly Farmers First SM. Created by farmers for farmers, FBN is an independent and unbiased farmer-to-farmer network of thousands of North American farms. FBN democratizes farm information by making the power of anonymously aggregated analytics available to all FBN members. The FBN Network helps level the playing field for independent farmers with unbiased information, profit enhancing farm analysis, and network buying power.

    They raised 110 million in the USA for the venture.

    Yes, Blairs bought the Yorkton store.

    Who else is using it and how do they like it?

    Right now they had at Saskatoon two years for the price of one for membership.

    Just asking for a friend. HAHAHA ok is it the new future way in farming.

            Nice lift on the deere.
            And my heart bleeds for theses input guys.

            Oh but buy local!
            Until it comes to needing a contractor or a trucking company than the lowest cost rules with them.

            Give me a break crooks

              I signed up as well and know of a few others that are now members.
              Most were former FNA members that will no longer deal with FNA.
              I think FBN should have bought out FNA and cleaned it up instead of starting from scratch to expand/enter the Canadian market.
              I agree that the price discovery part alone will be worth the signup cost.
              The glyphosate special during the show was lower than any other price I could find.
              Other generics that they plan to have available for this crop year should help lower costs as well.

                  Was 360 at $3.70 cash. Enough of a savings for the extra screwing around

                    What other products are you buying from them besides Roundup?
