TIFTON, Georgia– For the sixth year in a row AMADAS Industries sponsors the grand door prize during the 30th annual Georgia Peanut Farm Show and Conference. The grand door prize is a certificate valued at $10,000 for the purchase of an AMADAS self-propelled peanut combine. The one-day show on January 19, 2006, offers farmers a full day to view the products and services of more than 60 exhibitors and an afternoon of education.
“This is the sixth 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 $10,000 certificate towards the purchase of a self-propelled peanut combine.”
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. The Georgia Peanut Commission will present a short program beginning at 10:45 a.m. that will cover award presentations and commission activities. A free luncheon will follow for all peanut farmers in attendance.
The University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service will present educational peanut seminars throughout the day focusing on weed management, soil fertility, sod based rotation, irrigation and economics. Growers who participate in the extension-research seminars will earn credit towards pesticide certification.
At the close of the day, the presentation of a $10,000 certificate towards the purchase of an AMADAS peanut combine, donated by AMADAS Industries, will be presented to one lucky peanut grower.
