Launching in Iowa first
Buy like the big operations do.
Farmer Bloc pools orders from farms across the state and takes the combined volume to manufacturers. Same pipe, same chemical, same nitrogen. Better price, because you are buying together.
Free for farmers. No membership fee.
Big farms get volume pricing. Everyone else gets list.
Local buying groups carry buildings, trucks, and overhead. You pay for it in the margin.
Farmer Bloc has no warehouse. It pools the order and gets manufacturers to sharpen their price for it.

You see the price first.
Every pool shows the price before you commit. If it is right, you commit. If not, you walk away.
What a pool looks like

First live pool: drainage tile. Pipe makers sell direct, so there is no dealer markup stacked on top.
How Farmer Bloc makes money
Farmers pay nothing. When a pool closes, the vendor that fills it pays Farmer Bloc a 1% fee on the pool total. That fee is shown on every pool, every time.
