By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

The world’s largest chemical company – Germany’s BASF shares fell 3.97 percent to 67.09 euros Thursday at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Despite its fall in net profits in the second quarter, BASF held on to its targets.

BASF said that a volatile global environment would be more challenging than expected. The company makes a variety of chemicals including for plastics, paints, drugs and agriculture.

The company’s Agriculture Solutions segment performed well, with sales in agriculture increasing in the second quarter by 18%, 1.7 euros. BASF said higher prices coupled with the acquisition of Becker Underwood helped boost growth.

Three women. Three properties. Three summers that changed everything.

Meet the 2025 Kubota BX Summer Contest winners — and watch what happened when their biggest plans finally had the power to match them.

Akesh transformed her 9.8-acre property in just 3 months — clearing a historic barn, building a cottage garden, and growing vegetable beds for her family. Kathleen rebuilt her yard from the ground up after the 2023 wildfires devastated her property — creating a space where her children could play and grow again. Teresa reclaimed her family's 97-acre Ontario farm — moving topsoil, restoring fields, and honouring her mother's memory one season at a time.

Three dream projects. Three stories of vision, resilience, and hard work. One unforgettable summer with a Kubota BX.
