Attendees will have an opportunity to win special promotional prizes, including a grand prize of 1,000 gallons of free gas or diesel (maximum amount at $2.00 per gallon or $2,000).* The prize is sponsored by Winfield Solutions. In addition, Monsanto will bring its Mobile Learning Lab which travels the Corn Belt to showcase seed products and demonstrate performance in various soils and conditions at field events.

“The best way to learn about what traits you want to see in your seed is to see it first hand and talk to the people who know them best,” said Doug Tropp, Sales Manager for Southwest Landmark. “We pull all the best resources together from around the region to have on-hand to answer questions and talk face-to-face with farmers.”

“This is a great way for me to begin thinking about the varieties and products I will order for the 2010 growing season,” said John Waymire, Southwest Landmark cooperative Board Chairman and farmer. “The value in working with Southwest Landmark for me is the advice I get from the agronomists and educational opportunities like this.”

In addition, Southwest Landmark will sponsor its customer appreciation dinner and a comedy performance by Damian Mason, a corporate entertainer and comedian.

*Winners will be drawn at the end of the Sweepstakes Term which goes through September 31, 2009.
