RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, November 15, 2023 – Cotton growers who yield a ton or more of FiberMax® cotton could take home a truck equally worth its weight when they apply for BASF’s FiberMax One Ton Club™, now in its 19th year.

“The FiberMax One Ton Club is one our favorite long-standing traditions at BASF,” says Bryan Perry, BASF Head of Seeds & Traits – U.S. Agricultural Solutions. “For nearly two decades we’ve been celebrating cotton growers and their high-yield achievements – a feat we know isn’t always easy.
