Great Bend Co-op participated in the Hoisington Labor Day Weekend Touch A Truck Event on Saturday, August 31st, 2019. Touch a Truck is a fun family event that offers hands-on opportunities for children to explore, climb, and touch trucks, emergency response vehicles, heavy machinery and other equipment. Marvin Rose, Agronomy Manager, noted that over 170 kids of various ages climbed into and looked at the Case Applicator that we provided for the event. Great Bend Co-op also provided a Semi Tractor and Applicator Trailer for people to see. Gabe Polson, Agronomy Assistant Manager, Junior Welsch, Agronomy Operations, and Chase Welsch, Agronomy Applicator, offered information and answered questions about the machinery throughout the morning. Chase says his favorite part of the event was “interacting with the kids and introducing them to potential careers in agriculture other than being a farmer.” Despite wet weather, the event was a huge success. Great Bend Co-op looks forward to being part of this event in future years.
The vision of sustain is to take bold action tackling the complex issues of conservation, productivity and visibility and at the same time providing an authentic voice for agriculture. Sustain was developed to put focused efforts in the retail space around nutrient efficiency, soil health, and environmental stewardship.
