(Drake, ND) - David Olson has 100 acres of next year’s crop taken care of, courtesy of Wilbur-Ellis and Integra Seed. Olson, a Drake, North Dakota, farmer, won the 100-Acre Giveaway for 100 acres of free crop inputs. He will also receive the assistance of Wilbur-Ellis representative Greg Engel, who will work with Olson to develop a complete solutions plan for the 100 acres of Integra Seed.

Olson filled out a card at an Integra Seed informational meeting in Harvey, North Dakota in early December.

“I never thought anything more about it, because I never win anything,” Olson said. “I was so surprised when Greg Engel called and said I’d won. I’ve known about Wilbur-Ellis for a long time. My local co-op carries Wilbur-Ellis products and I get all my chemicals, fertilizer and other supplies there. I have tried some Integra corn for my own use.”

“The 100-Acre Giveaway is a way for us to showcase the whole Wilbur-Ellis portfolio through the Power of Three™,” Engel said. “Plus, it’s a great way to say thanks to our customers.”
