Cibus launched its new grower program for SU Canola that includes a volume bonus, contract bonus, loyalty bonus and trip to visit the Cibus headquarters in San Diego, California. Other promotional opportunities include a partnership with Cargill, offering premium grain contracts to farmers, and zero percent financing offered by Cibus’ distribution partner Wilbur-Ellis Company.
“SU Canola offers so many opportunities to farmers, including high yields and an economical and easy-to-use weed control system,” says Dave Voss, Cibus’ vice president of commercial development. “The bottom line is farmers make more money per acre by planting Cibus brand canola. The hybrids are competitive in yield. The weed control system is efficient and economical. Cibus is offering generous promotions.
“Canola growers are really responding to Cibus canola because of the new options and flexibility this system brings them.”
Cibus’ 2017 grower program has four key elements:
- The Volume Bonus: Growers who purchase a minimum of 30 units of Cibus SU Canola seed will receive a $50 per bag rebate.
- The Loyalty Bonus: Growers who have previously purchased Cibus SU Canola seed will receive a $50 per bag rebate.
- The Cargill Contract Bonus: Growers who sign a non-transgenic grain production contract with Cargill will receive a $50 per bag rebate.
- Visit Cibus’ San Diego Headquarters: Growers who purchase and plant a minimum of 50 units of Cibus SU Canola seed will be invited to visit San Diego during January or February 2018. The San Diego trip includes two airline tickets, hotel, meals and activities, including a tour of Cibus’ state-of-the-art world headquarters.
