CEDAR FALLS, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 2000--The winner of
user-friendly eXtremeAg.com's beat-up pickup truck drawing is Debbie
Lilly of Greenfield, Iowa.
Said Ron Michaelsen, general manager of eXtremeAg.com: ``We had
loads of fun with our truck giveaway and got lots of entries for no
more than we promoted it. We thought it would be funny to offer an
''ol' beater`` since our budget couldn't afford the fancy new trucks
our friendly competitors were offering in their contests. So,
consistent with our name, we went to the other extreme.
``We did offer Debbie the opportunity to either take the truck or
$500 and she took the cash. We'll have to take ''ol' Rover`` to the
bone yard.''
Debbie and her husband, Steve, said they had a hard time deciding
on the truck or the money because they have a vehicle similar to the
give-away, which could have probably benefited from ``ol Rover's''
organs.
Debbie said she is a loyal eXtremeAg.com reader from Greenfield,
which is southwest of Des Moines. They farm about 450 acres of corn,
beans and beef cows. Steve also works at the local coop and Debbie
is a special ed teacher for a local school district. They have three
kids in college, so said they can put the money to good use.
Second prize winner is Dean Milheim of Des Moines, New Mexico.
Dean is a horse farmer who has about 60 quarter horses. He raises
them for the quarter horse racing market. He wins a pair of Motorola
personal radios.
And third place winners, from Eaton, Colorado, are Barry and
Paula Johnson. They get a 13-inch TV/VCR combo from Sylvania. The
Johnsons farm 400 acres, growing sugar beets, alfalfa, corn and
pinto beans. They raised hogs until the most recent plunge to
historic lows.
