Group Buying — Collective Power

Iowa farmers pooling orders to break the pricing power of a handful of input suppliers.

The problem: 4 firms control 75% of Iowa's nitrogen fertilizer market. 2 companies control 73% of corn seed. Group buys let you negotiate like a large operation — even if you farm 200 acres.

How Group Buys Work

1. Commit Your Volume

Tell us how many units you want. Your commitment is locked when you join.

2. Strength in Numbers

More farmers joining = better prices. Watch the progress bar fill up.

3. Save at Delivery

After the deadline, the organizer places the order. You pay the locked group price.
