Mississippi Grower is Monthly Winner in Real Yield Sweepstakes
December 19, 2016 Tommy Harrison, a cotton and soybean grower from Tunica, MS, was the October winner of the Real Yield Sweepstakes, sponsored by Bayer.
Harrison entered the Sweepstakes after he was referred to the contest by a colleague. Harrison is the fourth winner in 2016 and will receive 200 acres’ worth of Liberty herbicide and LibertyLink soybean seed.
As a confirmed winner, Harrison is already looking forward to 2017 planting. “I’ve seen excellent results using Liberty herbicide in the past,” he said. “I’m confident this year will be better than ever.”
Thanks to Bayer and LibertyLink, growers are winning the battle against herbicide-resistant weeds and supporting the future of agriculture through FFA. Growers who enter the Real Yield Sweepstakes win free seed and Liberty herbicide, and local FFA foundations earn donations from every grower entry.
Four more growers will be named Real Yield winners by the end of 2016. The prize package includes material to treat 200 acres with Liberty herbicide; FiberMax or Stoneville cotton seed with the LibertyLink trait to plant 200 acres; or any brand of soybean seed with the LibertyLink trait to plant 200 acres.
One grand prize winner will receive 500 acres worth of LibertyLink system seed and herbicide. Bayer will announce the grand prize winner at the 2017 Commodity Classic in San Antonio, TX, in early March.
Additionally, $50,000 in prize money will be divided among the 10 state FFA organizations with the most grower submissions. Bayer equips each participating FFA with material to promote grower submissions, and every sweepstakes entry gains a point for the respective state FFA. The state with the most points will win the largest donation.
