Protecting the health of crops all season long


Pests cost the United States an estimated $40 billion in crop and forest production per year. Bayer’s tailored approach and leading portfolio of  fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and seed treatments help farmers minimize risk of crop damage.

Digital Farming Solutions

Optimizing with digital insights


Harvests are worth more than just the yields they produce. Every year, farmers get to learn about the unique dynamics within their fields so they can improve in the future. Bayer’s digital tools like Climate FieldView make it easier to collect and analyze field data, so farmers can spend more time innovating out in the field.

Regenerative Agriculture

Rewarding and scaling sustainable agriculture


Through the ForGround by Bayer program, Bayer is helping farmers adopt and expand regenerative agriculture practices as well as access to potential new revenue opportunities. Not only can farmers nurture their soils with these practices, it can help sequester atmospheric carbon which opens up potential new income streams to the farm through the Bayer Carbon Program. A little extra cash, tools to simplify the job and sustainable farming practices that can pay out in the long haul? We'll call that a win-win for American farmers.

Preserving Biodiversity

Biodiversity is about balance…the give and the take of nature.
 

At Bayer, we are helping to preserve biodiversity by remaining good stewards and pushing ourselves to find groundbreaking solutions, such as advanced digital tools, plant breeding, biotechnology, and other technologies that improve land use, and help US farmers produce more while using fewer resources.
