Helena, Mont. – Montana Stockgrowers Association (MSGA) is excited to announce its second year of partnership with Frontline Ag Solutions. The John Deere dealer based in Conrad is an “Official Top Hand Club Sponsor” of MSGA and has been instrumental in helping to continue the 2015 Top Hand Club.
The Top Hand Club is a part of Stockgrowers’ Affiliate Mentorship Program, a renewed effort to strengthen local affiliate groups and ranching members across the state. Each year, the individual and Local Affiliate group who recruit the most new MSGA members are recognized with the Top Hand award. This year’s top recruiting Local Affiliate group will win a John Deere Gator sponsored by Frontline Ag Solutions. The Gator will make its debut at the Stockgrowers’ MidYear Meeting, June 4-6 in Bozeman.
“We have been hard at work this year making plans for the Top Hand Club to support our membership. We could not have accomplished this without the very generous support of Frontline Ag Solutions,” said Gene Curry, MSGA President from Valier. “John Deere makes a great, dependable product that holds up on our Montana ranches. We appreciate the commitment Frontline Ag Solutions has made to our membership and the Montana Stockgrowers Association!”
The Top Hand Club is the Montana Stockgrowers Association’s "member-recruit-a-member" program, which has developed to recognize those Local Affiliate groups and members across Montana who continually give their time and effort to help increase the strength of their state organization, the Montana Stockgrowers Association.
The top prize for the Affiliate Top Hand, a John Deere Gator from Frontline Ag Solutions, will be awarded to the Stockgrowers Local Affiliate group that recruits the highest number of new memberships for MSGA within the current recruitment year, ending November 30. Last year’s Affiliate Top Hand winner was the Southeastern Montana Stockgrowers of Miles City.
The 2015 winner will be announced at MSGA’s Annual Convention to be held Dec. 3-5 at the MetraPark in Billings. To learn more about MSGA’s 2015 Top Hand Club and to find information on membership programs and benefits, please visit mtbeef.org.
