“We are a primary partner with Cooperative Finance Association (CFA),” said Kelly Meyer, Federated’s business service specialist, but John Deere Financial (JDF) and Rabo AgriFinance options are also available to meet every grower’s specific needs.
 
Multiple seed dealers additionally offer financing options, so growers can pick and choose as they see fit.
 
Meyer said, “Prebuy season is upon us.  Take advantage of locking in your supply and minimizing stress and worry next year with CFA.”
 
CFA offers a competitive interest rate for the 2025 crop year (sign-up deadline is 6/30/25). Through CFA, Federated is offering two finance programs this year:
 
  1. Base Rate Program – Interest rate is 7.74% fixed until 9/1/25, then prime + 1% variable until the loan matures on 3/15/26.
  2. Power of One Program* – Interest rate is 6.74% fixed until 9/1/25. Then prime + 1% variable until the loan matures on 3/15/26.
*The Power of One program indicates that all your inputs are secured at the co-op, which includes custom application services, all energy (fuel/propane), fertilizer, seed, and chemicals. 
 
Contact your Federated Agronomist or Kelly Meyer for more information or to apply for financing before yearend.
