Syngenta launches “weed out hunger in 2010” program

The fight to weed out hunger across the Corn Belt has officially begun. Weeding out Hunger, a new campaign sponsored by Halex GT corn herbicide and Syngenta Crop Protection, made a stop at the National Farm Machinery Show, held Feb. 10-13 in Louisville, KY, as part of the Weeding out Hunger Road Show. Throughout the spring, the Weeding out Hunger Road Show will make stops at various industry events and retail locations across the country to support local Feeding America food banks through monetary donations and non-perishable food collection. In addition, Syngenta will donate a portion of Halex GT corn herbicide product sales in 2010 to local Feeding America food banks to help weed out hunger one crop row at a time in corn-growing regions across the United States. The Weeding out Hunger Road Show has traveled to various trade shows and industry events across the country including the Wisconsin Crop Management Conference, National No-Tillage Conference, Agribusiness Association of Iowa Conference, Nebraska Agri-Business Exposition and Mid-South Farm and Gin Show. The next stop for Halex GT and Weeding out Hunger will be Commodity Classic, the annual convention and trade show of the U.S. corn, soybean, wheat and sorghum industries. It will be held March 4-6 in Anaheim, CA. Image: farmassist.com. More…
