New financing program enables commercial growers to implement Liquid Natural
Clay with no loan payments required until after harvest
SANDNES, NORWAY,6 August 2026- Desert Control AS (OSE: DSRT), a leader in soil
and water conservation technology,today announced a partnership withGrowersEdge,
an agricultural financial technology company providing modern financial products
and data-driven tools, to make Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) more financially
accessible to commercial crop growers.
Through the new program, approved growers will be able to finance the purchase
and application of LNC with no loan payments required until after harvest. By
aligning repayment with the timing of crop revenue, the program is designed to
help growers preserve working capital during the production season while
investing in technology intended to improve root-zone water and nutrient
management.
The partnership addresses a common challenge in agricultural technology
adoption: growers typically incur production costs months before receiving
revenue from the crop. Even when a technology has demonstrated agronomic and
economic potential, the timing of the initialinvestment can limit the acreage a
grower is prepared to treat.
"This partnership addresses one of the most important barriers to scaling
agricultural innovation: the timing of the investment," saidJames Thomas, Chief
Executive Officer of Desert Control. "Growers make significant financial
commitments throughout the production cycle, well before the crop generates
revenue. By allowing qualified customers to defer repayment until after harvest,
we can better align the purchase of LNC with the economics and cash-flow
realities of commercial farming."
For Desert Control, the partnership adds an important financing capability to
its commercial platform. It is intended to support the company's strategy of
converting validated grower interest and field trials into larger, revenue
-generating deployments while maintaining a disciplined approach to commercial
expansion.
