AUDIO: Charles Baron, Farmers Business Network
A company – more of a buying group – has been in the marketplace since 2015. The buying group has created a lot of reaction from traditional input suppliers due to their Amazon Direct marketing plan.
Farmers Business Network (FBN) sells all forms of crop inputs to farmers who pay the $600 annual membership fee. The company offers data on seed and other inputs. They are now expanding into helping farmers sell their production into the marketplace.
Charles Barron, co-founder of Farmers Business Network, sat in a well-placed booth at Commodity Classic 2018. Some competitors had placed signs critical of the company?s business model, so I asked Barron to explain what they do and how it benefits farmers.
