I Am Ag
At Alltech, we believe in the power of “agvocacy” — of everyday farmers sharing their stories.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then we want to see more photos on social media that celebrate the spirit, culture and raw beauty of agriculture life.
Share your favorite snapshot of a farm or farm innovation with us, and you could win a trip to ONE: The Alltech Ideas Conference (ONE19) in Lexington, Kentucky, held May 19–21, 2019. The top three photo submissions (as determined by the number of “Likes” they receive on Facebook) will receive free registration for the winner and a guest, along with $2,000 to put toward travel and hotel expenses.
Not a bad deal, right?
