Pioneer offers more payment
options for forage additives
Customers of Pioneer Hi-Bred,
a DuPont business, now can buy silage inoculants using the
Pioneer Deferred Payment Loan program. This program will provide
payment options specifically designed for dairy and livestock
producers as they face economic challenges.
Now more than ever, dairy and livestock producers need to
maximize the nutritional value of feed to maximize milk or meat
per acre. Inoculants can boost producers' bottom lines by
improving the quality of their silage. Pioneer utilizes
industry-leading research, as well as agronomic and nutritional
experts, to provide its customers the entire range of seed
genetics, crop-specific inoculants including revolutionary Corn
Fiber Technology, silage know-how and local service - all
dedicated to the goal of producing more nutritious feed
supplies.
"It's a difficult time for the livestock producers, and price
volatility is affecting everyone," says Kyle Whitaker, Pioneer
marketing manager - forage additives. "This program offers a way
to finance silage inoculant purchases and set up structured loan
payments to better coincide with an operation's income.
"We have four inoculants for corn silage, three for alfalfa
silage, three for grass and cereal silage and two more designed
for high-moisture corn," Whitaker says. "This gives growers a
wide range of crop-specific product options and flexibility with
their inoculant decisions." The goal is to give producers
choices to suit their individual preferences.
Qualified customers can purchase silage inoculants this summer
and include those purchases on their existing 2009 Deferred
Payment Loan. As an added benefit, the silage inoculant portion
of the loan can be moved to the 2010 loan with final payment due
June 30, 2010. The seed and crop protection portion of any
existing 2009 Deferred Payment Loan is still due on the normal
due date, Dec. 1, 2009.
"Customers can set up a payment plan to match their expected
income," Whitaker says. "They must make a minimum of three
payments, with the final payment due June 30, 2010. However,
they can set up the payments monthly or a number of ways to meet
individual financial needs." After setting up an approved
payment schedule, the customer will receive an acknowledgment
letter that includes coupons to make payment easier. For an even
more convenient option, customers also can schedule electronic
payments for their silage inoculants.
