Input Financing Program FAQs
The Heritage Cooperative Input Financing Program allows you to finance your fall, spring and summer crop input
purchases. You can also finance your agronomy prepay purchases from Heritage Cooperative. Eligible charges are
between August 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023. Due date for submitting an application is April 30, 2023.
Your financing rate is determined by the percent of your corn and soybean acres that are planted with seed sold
by Heritage Cooperative. There are four levels of finance rates with the lowest, Heritage Platinum at 0% and the
highest, Heritage Bronze at 3% over prime.
Inputs for raising corn, soybeans, wheat, forage, seed or specialty crops are all covered. This includes seed, fertilizer, lime, chemicals, power fuel, soil testing, DEF, GPS services, custom application, delivery and equipment rental charges. Non-crop inputs such as feed are not included in this program.
The prepaid or cash price in effect at the time of billing will be used for products, and the regular price will be used for services such as custom application, delivery or equipment rental.
Finance charges are calculated from the date of the invoice when the product is picked up or the prepaid price is locked in. Finance charges are not compounded.
The Heritage Platinum and Gold levels are due January 31, 2024. The Silver and Bronze levels are due November
30, 2023.
The financing rate will be adjusted to the level that was met and made retroactive to the invoice date.
An application, balance sheet and tax return will be required in all cases, and in some cases a crop lien and crop insurance.
