JOHNSTON, IOWA, Oct. 28, 2026: Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) has partnered with Growers Edge to offer the BioCoat Gold Guarantee, a performance warranty backed by the Growers Edge Crop Plan Warranty. If BioCoat Gold doesn’t produce enough additional yield over an untreated control to cover the cost of the product, enrolled farmers receive a refund or credit.
The guarantee covers wheat, corn, soybeans and cotton. Orders over $10,000 qualify for a 100% refund, and orders under $10,000 qualify for a 100% credit.
BioCoat Gold is a dry mycorrhizal inoculant applied directly to seed. It’s designed to support even germination, early root development and seedling vigor.
The Crop Plan Warranty lets input manufacturers stand behind how their products perform in the field. Farmers can try BioCoat Gold on their own acres without carrying the full cost if it underperforms, and AEA can put its confidence in the product in writing.
“We know farming is inherently risky and unpredictable. Growers don’t need any added uncertainty. So when we are confident that a product like BioCoat Gold is going to work, we want growers to know that as clearly as possible. That’s where the Growers Edge Crop Plan Warranty has been so valuable. We can get a high-performing product into their hands while we share the risk. It’s a win-win,” said Eric Girdler, AEA’s CEO.
For wheat, the warranty program price is $10.36 per acre at a standard rate of 90 grams per acre. Corn, soybeans and cotton are also eligible at $4.20, $6.55 and $4.67 per acre.
To qualify, farmers enroll through their AEA rep, submit field boundaries for enrolled acres, and apply BioCoat Gold on-seed at standard rates. New customers treat a minimum of 500 acres. Existing customers increase their prior-year purchase by 50% (minimum 500 acres total) or commit 90% of their farmed acres.
Performance is measured with side-by-side strip trials comparing treated and untreated acres under identical management. If the results show BioCoat Gold didn’t cover its cost, the farmer requests a warranty review and receives the refund or credit.
Results are verified with yield data from the farmer’s own machinery data, so the outcome is based on what happened in the field.
