TIFTON, Georgia– For the fourth year in a row AMADAS Industries sponsors the grand door prize during the 28th annual Georgia Peanut Farm Show and Conference. The grand door prize is a certificate valued at $5,000 for the purchase of an AMADAS peanut combine. The one-day show on January 15, 2004, offers farmers a full day to view the products and services of more than 65 exhibitors and an afternoon of education.

“ This is the fourth year AMADAS Industries has sponsored the grand door prize,” says Emory Murphy, farm show coordinator. “We are excited that they have chosen to recognize one lucky peanut farmer with a $5,000 certificate towards the purchase of a peanut combine.”

“AMADAS Model 9997 Four Row and Model 2100 Six Row Pull-type peanut combines stand alone as the largest and highest capacity pull-type combines available,” says Mark Mathis, southeastern sales manager of AMADAS. “The proven performance of the advanced picking and separating technology of AMADAS combines has secured AMADAS Industries’ position as a leader in the innovative design of large volume, high capacity, peanut harvesting technology.”

The AMADAS Model 9960 Self Propelled Peanut Combine is revolutionizing peanut harvesting, Mathis says. AMADAS Industries and John Deere joined forces to develop the world’s first eight row, self-propelled peanut combine to ensure that peanut farmers maintain a competitive advantage.

The show opens at 8:30 a.m. with door prize registration and closes at 3:45 p.m. with the announcement of the grand door prize winner. During the opening general session, the Georgia Peanut Commission will present the Georgia Peanut Research and Education Award, the Distinguished Service Award and two special awards. The University of Georgia’s Cooperative Extension Service will present an educational Peanut Conference in the afternoon.
