ADAMA Awards Four Ag Retails $15,000 for Local Causes

 
After an outpouring of support from rural communities across Canada, ADAMA Canada has selected four agri-retailers to receive grand prizes of $15,000 each to donate to worthy causes in their communities. ADAMA Canada launched its inaugural #ThankARetailer contest in November last year and on Friday announced the following winners for each region:
 
Eastern Canada: Huron Perth Ag Service Inc. — Woodham, Ontario
Manitoba: Foster Ag. Services — Arborg, Manitoba
Saskatchewan: Richardson Pioneer — Strasbourg, Saskatchewan
Alberta & BC: Bashaw Crop Services — Bashaw, Alberta
 
The #ThankARetailer contest encouraged Canadians to nominate agri-retailers that make an outstanding contribution to their community, then vote for them online to improve their chances of winning. Over 220,000 votes were cast for 52 nominated retails, many of which garnered significant support through social media. Several local newspapers also featured their town's nominee to help spread awareness and rally votes.
 
According to Andrew Mann, CEO of ADAMA Canada, reactions to the contest far exceeded ADAMA's expectations. "Our entire team is blown away by how much support our nominees received," said Mann. "It just goes to show how much people appreciate the hard work of their local ag retails, and how passionate they are about giving to good causes in their hometowns."
