How it works
A warranty that works.
However you bring new products to market, Crop Plan Warranty gives growers the confidence to say yes and gives you the data to prove it works. Growers Edge handles the platform, enrollment, field identification, yield verification, claims, and payouts.
FOR RETAILERS
Pair your recommended bundle — seed, crop protection, fertility, technology — with a warranty. You set the benchmark, products, and payout.
Growers commit to following the plan on enrolled acres, based on your recommendation.
Growers follow agronomic guidelines through harvest. We capture yield maps and application data.
If benchmark yield is met or beat, the grower wins on yield. If it falls short, the warranty pays, we administer every claim.
FOR MANUFACTURERS
Define the eligible products, yield or performance benchmark, warranty value, and trial footprint.
Your retail and sales channel offer the warranty alongside your product. Growers Edge handles enrollment, field ID, and digital sync.
As-applied data and harvest yield maps measure treated vs. untreated performance with block-level precision, season after season.
Performance data flows back to your team. Growers are protected if product falls short.
Two warranty structures.
Choose the one that fits your program.
APH Crop Plan Warranty — Best for retailers with undifferentiated offerings and manufacturers without enough data for a side-by-side program.
Built around Actual Production History (APH). The warranty benchmark is the grower’s own proven yield, measured at the field level. It’s straightforward to sell, straightforward to enroll, and proven on over 1 million acres.
- Benchmark: grower’s APH (Actual Production History)
- Measurement: end-of-season field yield vs. APH
- Payout: flat per-acre warranty if the field falls short of benchmark
- Best for: retailers with undifferentiated offerings and manufacturers without enough data for a side-by-side program
- Why it wins: lower complexity to stand up, well-understood by growers, proven to drive re-enrollment and multi-year commitments
Side-by-Side Crop Plan Warranty — Best for retailers and manufacturers looking to accelerate adoption of specific products.
Built around in-field untreated check strips versus treated blocks. We capture as-applied and harvest yield data to measure the actual yield delta your product delivered, then the warranty pays based on that measured performance. If you’re a manufacturer launching a new technology, or a retailer who wants real-world proof the product works, this is the structure designed for you.
- Benchmark: untreated check strips vs. treated acres, measured in-field
- Measurement: as-applied data + harvest yield maps, block-level precision
- Payout: scaled to actual measured yield uplift vs. expected, faster and more precise than whole-field averages
- Best for: retailers and manufacturers looking to accelerate adoption of specific products
- Eligibility: crops harvested with an approved yield monitor · 36-acre minimum field size · 250-acre minimum grower participation
- Why it wins: generates real-world product performance data, aligns payout with product contribution, shortens the feedback loop to your R&D and commercial teams
