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 September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022.

What is the financing rate?
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 five levels of finance rates with the lowest, Heritage Max at 0% and the highest, Heritage Bronze at 3% over prime.

What crop inputs purchased from Heritage Cooperative are eligible?
Inputs for raising corn, soybeans, wheat, forage, seed or specialty crops are all covered.
