More Demand for Financing

Ahead of the 2026 growing season, securing financing seems to be the top priority for growers. Corteva Territory Manager Jordan Grundstrom says the demand is up over the recent past. “Last year there was a lot of guys dipping their toe into it and looking at finance options,” said Grundstrom. “I think this year will be really a large year where guys are looking for extra avenues to defer or source out inputs different then they have in the past.” Acreage decisions are still being made. “Other than long-term contract crops I think there’s going to be a lot of decision making done up until the planter gets loaded.”
