Have you experienced issuesreceiving or sending text messages in response to an Farmers Business Network poll or price alert?

Here are some tips to troubleshoot these issues.

I'm not receiving messages and I'm not sure why.

Please confirm that your cell phone number is listed in your FBN account. Log into FBN at www.FBN.com, navigate to "Account", then "My Profile", click "Edit Phone Number".

I'd like someone else on my farm to receive polls from Farmers Business Network.

Great!You can create a sub account for your team member by following this guide. Be sure to include their cell phone number. After they are set up, they will receive the next poll that is focused on your region.

When I receive an sms poll, I reply but I do not receive the resulting insights (ie. images or graphs).

We often send results back using a different type of message, called MMS. You may need to enable MMS messages on your phone.

To enable MMS messages on aniPhone,

From the Home screen, tapSettings.

Scroll down to and tapMessages.

Scroll down, then to enable, drag theMMS Messagingswitch toON.

To disable, drag theMMS Messagingswitch toOFF.

There are many Android devices on the market so you may need to search google for "how to enable mms messages on an Android [Device model #]"

If MMS messages are enabled but you still do not receive these messages, you may wish to speak with yourcarrier.

I'd like to be removed from future sms/mms messages.

Not a problem, simply reply "stop" to any of our messages and we will remove you from all future messages.

If you'd like to be added back to the list at a future time, text"FBN" to phone number 313131.

I have another question that isn't listed here.

The FBN networkdoes a very old thing in a new way.

Farmers have been sharing information and learning from one another since the dawn of agriculture, it's one of the very roots of human civilization. The FBN networkuses data from precision equipment and other sources, thenconnects you with thousands of elite growers from around the US and Canada. FBN turns the world into your plot trial by anonymously aggregating and analyzing millions of acres of farm data through the FBN analytics tools.

Information about your farm is never visible to otherFBNmembers, no one can see what you do on your fields, and your data is never sold. By participating inFBN,you'll receive comprehensive agronomic analytics, reports, and mapping on your own farm, and can alsoaccess this pool of aggregated, anonymized cleaned data on thingssuch as seed performance, performance benchmarking, crop & market trends and input prices.

By tapping into thousands of fields and millions of acres of data, farmers can realize the power of a scale of information that has never before been available to farmers - all created by and for other farmers. That's what we call, Democratizing Data. Farmers, not the industry, deservethe benefit of aggregated information. Meaning you can farm with higher confidence, and gain insights into the best products and practices that could increase your yields and profits.

FBNanalytics can work on dozens of crops and integrate over 60 types of precision software. Many farmers joinFBNwith their friends to create local agronomic data clusters. Agronomists and trusted advisors can also useFBNanalytics to manage their client's farm data and produce customized analytics.

The FBN networkcreates a future for farmers that is independent, data driven, transparent, and fair with real competition for your business. It all boils down to more profits for independent family farms and better outcomes for food consumers.

Here are someexamples of how aggregated data drives better decisions:

The FBN Soil Type Map shows the distribution of soil types across your field as defined by the NRCS SSURGO database in the U.S. and the CANSIS database in Canada.

The colored areas on the map represent the different soil types asidentified in the legend.

Legend

The legend is a pie chart with each slice representing the percentage of the field that corresponds to a soil type and color on the map. Hover your mouse over a slice todisplay the soil type and percentage.

Satellite imagery is nowaccessible directly withinFBNMaps and is included withFBNmembership at no extra charge.Any member who has field boundaries draw in yourFBN account will receive satellite images.

Tech Specs

New images are loaded every 5 to 7 days

Members can access images going back 12 months

The imagery has a 10-meter resolution

What Kind of Images are Included?

We display three types of images. Absolute, Relative, and Raw.

The"Absolute"layer can be used to show how far along a crop is in its growth, to identify the variation of vegetative vigor within a field, and to compare a field’s vegetative growth against other fields on the operation.

The"Relative"layertakes the range of EVI values from the Absolute layer and effectively amplifies the variation across a green to red color scale.This layer is used to identify the variation of vegetative growth within a single field.

The"Raw"layershows a raw image of the field on the date the image was taken. This layer can be used to identify clouds or shadows of clouds that might be showing up in the EVI layers.

How do I find EVI Satellite Images in the product?

EVI imagery is located in theFBNMapssection ofMy Operations. You can see satellite maps by using the “map-types” drop-down menu located on the left of the screen, just above the map image and selecting"Satellite".

Already anFBNmember?

You can find your satellite imagery by navigating to the "Maps"section of your account.

If you don't see your maps, we may be missing field boundaries for your operation. Please give us a call at (844)200-FARM or email [email protected]

Price Transparency is an essential tool for determining a fair price and to use in negotiation with local suppliers.

Integrating with John Deere requires that you already have a MyJohnDeere account created with display data uploaded to the John Deere Operations Center.

In order to add a MyJohnDeere account to FBN, follow the steps below or watch our video tutorial:

Sign into your FBN account ( https://www.farmersbusinessnetwork.com ). Sign Up Here!

Click the My Data Section, on the right in the header.

Click on the Integrations tab to the right of the My Files tab.

Click on the John Deere button.

Click on the Connect with John Deere button if you agree to add this integration.

If you are not currently signed into MyJohnDeere, you will be required to sign in.

Once signed in, you will see a page from MyJohnDeere asking if you want to allow FBN access to your account data.

Select"Allow".

If the request was successful and FBN was able to finish the integration, you will see your MyJohnDeere account listed as an integration. If the request failed or there was an error, you will see the integrations page with an error message. Retry the process again if this happens or contact us for help.

You are now integrated with your MyJohnDeere account and all files uploaded to MyJohnDeere will automatically upload to your FBN account for processing, cleaning, and analyzing!

Will I have duplicate data in the system with previously provided files?

If we find matching files from MyJohnDeere and your FBN account, we do not re-process the data. If we do not have a matching file, we download the file into your account and begin processing. While we have taken steps to minimize this, it is possible and you should contact us so we can take care of it.

How do I remove an integration?

Removing an integration from FBN is as simple as going to the Integrations page and clicking on the “Remove” link to the right of the integration you wish to remove. The integration will no longer be listed.

The price ranges you see in FBNPrice Transparency represent invoiced prices reported by FBNSM members, so these prices do not include rebates.

Thousands of real world chemical invoices have been added by farmers across the country. These invoices giveFBN Price Transparency the data it needs to establish a market average price for hundreds of chemicals farmers use.

FBN Direct

You can use this market average price during your chemical negotiations or compare that price to the national price you can access through .

Your pricing information is always protected, confidential, and anonymous. Noone but you will ever be able to see your reported prices.

In FBNSM Price Transparency, you’ll be able to see the range of prices which farmers have been quoted or have paid, but you will not be able to see any specific price, or whose price it was. The prices are never tied to a specific operation, and pricing analytics will not be revealed on a product unless a minimum number of prices have been submitted to ensure the anonymity of all FBN members.

FBN Price Transparency is also available to FBN members on our iPhone & Android mobile apps.

Returns: Farmers have the ability to control costs for their seed supplier by ordering only the seed that is needed. With open return policies, many farmers order a little extra and a typical seed company has between 8-25\% returns. However, that small amount of extra seed ends up costing seed companies a lot of money. It is costly to return, repackage, retest for quality and create new lots of the seed. For us to offer significant savings to the farmer, we need the farmer’s help. If you are concerned about returns we do offer a return program on our conventional corn seed.

Replants: Until the advent of traits, most seed companies did not offer replant seed or did so at only a 50\% level. With the launch of traits, seed companies started offering full replant programs to try to gain a competitive advantage. To determine if an operation should purchase our replant program, the farmer should calculate the \% of seed that they have had to replant over the past several years. In addition to our replant program, it is also possible to buy replant insurance from the RMA/Federal Crop Insurance. Some farmers will also buy private policies for additional coverage.

Resprays are not currently offered through FBN Direct. When you buy a product with a respray guarantee, the cost of the respray is typically baked into the upfront cost of the product. However, in a recent survey, 78\% of FBN members did not require any resprays in 2017, and another 10\% of members required resprays for fewer than 10\% of their acres. We let you save money upfront instead of making you pay for the cost of a service that you have a low likelihood of needing.
