DEKALB, Asgrow and Deltapine celebrate ‘National Agronomy Week’

In what they hope will become an annual spring tradition, the DEKALB, Asgrow and Deltapine brands are celebrating “National Agronomy Week” April 3rd through the 7th.

The purpose of the program, according to brand lead Jesse Hamonic, is to promote appreciation for the “invaluable support provided by agronomists, seed dealers and crop consultants”.

“Agronomic experts with various affiliations and expertise play an integral role in the success of our customers, and we want to bring added attention to the important work they do,” Hamonic says. “We’re very proud to help spotlight the expertise and service these ag professionals provide for American farmers, regardless of seed brand.”

Hamonic says farmers can give their agronomic team a “shout-out” at AgronomyWeek.com.  All shout-out participants will automatically be entered into the Agronomy Week Giveaway Sweepstakes, with one farmer and three members of his agronomic support team winning a racing weekend grand prize.  Farmers also can recognize their agronomic professionals and enter the contest via Facebook and Twitter using #AgronomyWeek and #contest.
