QUESTION

Why the cost of inputs is so high?

Do you know why the cost of inputs are so high in 2023? As a farmer…What’s your strategy for dealing with the consolidation of agricultural suppliers into ever fewer companies with more power to extract the highest prices from you?

PROBLEM

What is creating this problem?

Big International Corporations (oligopolies) set prices and control the markets offering fewer options and higher margins on products. Even when you think you are supporting locals when buying your inputs, the Manufacturer of the product (crop protection products, fertilizer, etc) has extremely high margins of profit for themselves. Making farmers price takers, with fewer options and directly impacting your farm profitability.

SOLUTION

What is the solution?

Building a community. This is how humans have successfully survived and become better and stronger. Moving together towards the same objectives is simply easier, faster and better. FNA brings farmers together with a single purpose, bringing the balance of power back in favour of farmers, and increasing farm profits.

How do we do it?

better prices, and better terms for farmers across Canada.

Testimonials

“Around the year 2000 is when I joined FNA, and I have never regretted it. They are giving us so much more for what we pay for our membership. Every year I get much more in return.”

LEO BOGNER

“The value that you get with FNA membership is 10 to 1. We as farmers get much more in return for what we pa.”

KEVIN STRAUSS

“FNA is the reason why farmers have saved millions over the years. Don’t just believe me, do your own research.”

GRANT OLSEN

The importance of building a strong community of farmers

A strong community where farmers trust FNA can negotiate on their behalf and build companies that compete against oligopolies who control the options and prices for farm products. Our community brings back the balance of power in favour of farmers. Instead of being price takers, farmers now have options to reduce the cost of their inputs and increase their profits.

Instead of farming 10,100,1000 or 10,000 acres acting alone, when you join FNA you have the negotiation power of over 20 million acres. The impact of each farmer joining the business alliance makes all the difference.

The Alliance

In fact, you do not “join” FNA in the normal sense. It is more accurate to say you “employ” FNA, a management team that is constantly developing new strategies, and investment opportunities, to break monopoly pricing to the benefit of farm profitability.

Instead of farming 10,100,1000 or 10,000 acres acting alone, when you join FNA you have the negotiation power of over 20 million acres. The impact of each farmer joining the business alliance makes all the difference.
