Manitoba Farm Couple Head to Australia
CALGARY, AB (September 28, 2005) – Rick and Karen Penner of Swan River,
MB will be spending a two week vacation down under, having won a trip
for two to Australia from Arysta LifeScience.
Mr. Penner won the trip by entering his name in a promotion for EVEREST®
Herbicide, conducted by Arysta LifeScience. Farmers could enter at
tradeshows, through a business reply card or by going to the Arysta
LifeScience website. A total of 11,262 entries were received for this
trip to Australia. Costs covered in the trip include airfare,
accommodations, car rental and spending money.
“I didn’t believe I had won the trip at first,” said Rick. “But I am
very excited to see another country. I enjoy flying and am looking
forward to the climate as it will be winter here and summer in
Australia. Our 25th wedding anniversary is in January, so this trip
will be a nice way to celebrate that.”
“I am actually harvesting a field of hard red spring wheat right now
that I treated with EVEREST. It looks nice, I am very impressed. I have
trouble with group 1 resistance, so will continue to use EVEREST,” Rick
concluded. EVEREST is a perfect fit for wheat growers interested in
flush after flush control of green foxtail and wild oats.
“We are pleased to be able to provide Rick and Karen Penner with the
trip for two to Australia,” said Tony Zatylny, Herbicide Product
Manager with Arysta LifeScience. “Some of the highlights of their trip
will be a farm visit and tour, visiting the Sydney harbour, discovering
the Blue Mountain wildlife and spending a couple of days in Cairns to
see the Great Barrier Reef. We hope that this will provide them with a
much deserved holiday this winter.”
