POWELL, Ohio — Meristem Crop Performance has announced a major new initiative to strengthen farm profitability: a zero-percent financing program offered through Farm Growth Financial, providing growers with no payments and no interest through December 2026 on approved purchases of Meristem products.

“It doesn’t get any better than 0%. We are thrilled to announce this new financing program dedicated exclusively to Meristem products,” said Mitch Eviston, Founder and CEO of Meristem. “Meristem has always been about helping farmers produce more bushels for less. This financing option, combined with flat pricing and our innovative product lineup, creates an unmatched opportunity to take cost out in 2026.”

Farmers can take advantage of the zero-percent offer by setting up a Farm Growth Financial account and taking delivery of product by December 20, 2025. After that date, growers may choose a 1.99% interest financing option available throughout crop year 2026.

Key Program Highlights

• No payments and no interest through December 2026 on eligible Meristem products.
• Must take delivery by December 20, 2025, to qualify for 0% financing.
• 1.99% financing available for product delivered after December 20, 2025.
• Simple, streamlined application process through Farm Growth Financial.
• Minimum order requirement: $10,000.
• Approval limits up to $500,000; higher limits available with additional documentation.

This program is designed to help farmers maintain profitability despite rising input costs and tighter financial conditions. According to Eviston, the goal is to provide farmers with more control over their cost structure, allowing them to invest strategically in crop performance without upfront financial pressure.

Meristem continues to expand its innovation pipeline, with products like Upshift® C Plus, a high-efficiency concentrated starter designed to reduce water waste in shipping while boosting early-season crop performance. Other offerings include the Hopper Throttle® MaxStax™ biological system, which replaces traditional liquid seed treatments, and the Excavator® AMS + Cyclestrike lineup, which helps farmers reduce fertilizer expenses.
