BVU, BW Fusion join forces through Strategic Partnership

A Strategic Partnership with Buena Vista University allows BW Fusion to offer educational benefits to its employees and their eligible family members.

Buena Vista University (BVU) and BW Fusion have established an agreement as Strategic Partners to bolster employees and the people and communities they work to strengthen.

This partnership allows for employees of BW Fusion, as well as eligible family members of full-time employees, to receive grant funding to lower the overall cost of education while enrolled in classes at BVU’s Storm Lake campus. Partner grant funding also lowers the cost per credit hour for students enrolled in BVU’s convenient online/hybrid undergraduate programs or the organizational leadership graduate program.

BVU professors and staff are also available for training programs, workshops, and more should officials with BW Fusion seek those services and expertise.

BW Fusion is a partnership comprised of Wells Ag Supply of Fonda and Biodyne USA, of Fort Wayne, Ind. BW Fusion, which features nearly 40 employees, brings years of agricultural experience in biologicals, nutritionals, chemicals, and agronomy in meeting the needs of growers while becoming a trusted resource and partner in the operational success of the farm’s business.

“The Strategic Partnership with Buena Vista University represents an innovative approach in offering a benefit for our employees,” says one of the BW Fusion Owners, Gilman Farley. “Innovation is something we strive for in all aspects of our growing enterprise. Being able to offer employees and their families a more affordable and accessible path toward higher education can only make all of us better and more adept at finding solutions in the future to grow our communities.”

The company’s locations in Fonda, Iowa, and Fort Wayne, Ind., blend well with BVU’s successful online mode of delivering instruction, a practice within which BVU has been at the forefront for years, and allows individuals to complete their coursework anywhere while maintaining their employment.

“Buena Vista University is excited to work with BW Fusion in delivering the value of a BVU education conveniently and more affordably through this Strategic Partnership, a collaborative approach that represents a win for both entities,” says BVU Director of Strategic Partnerships Laura Todd.
