FBN and Meristem Promote Early Seeding and Lower Production Costs

Farmers Business Network and Meristem Crop Performance are partnering on a new planter technology. For the 2026 season, FBN will offer Farmers First Furrow Flex Soy, which is powered by Meristem’s Bio-Capsule Technology delivery system. This advanced planter box system uses IonLock Zinc to provide additional micronutrients, synthetic fungicides and multiple biological solutions to allow for early planting. The system is designed to replace traditional seed treatments.
