Ag Growth International’s (AGI) Canadian farm team has released a pink limited-edition UCX³ U-trough belt conveyor in support of breast cancer awareness. During October breast cancer awareness month, AGI has invited Canadian farmers to bid on the field loader (CA$87 156), or the public can donate. All proceeds will go to the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS).
“The breast cancer awareness conveyor is our unique way of supporting this worthwhile cause. And that benefits everyone from farm to table.”
The conveyor for a cause campaign is the brainchild of AGI’s Swift Current manufacturing team in Saskatchewan, Canada. AGI’s facility produces portable belt conveyors for pulses, corn, soybeans, seed facilities and fertilizer handling applications for farm customers across North America.
Tom Firth, AGI Swift Current General Manager, said: “The breast cancer awareness conveyor is our unique way of supporting this worthwhile cause. And that benefits everyone from farm to table.”
AGI’s conveyor for a cause campaign carries a dual purpose. While funds raised will go directly to CCS, the UCX³ belt conveyor, also, will benefit a farm operation. The machine in question is said to move more commodities in less time with low impact to protect grain quality and seed germination performance. The pink conveyor up for bid can move up to 12 000 bushels per hour.
AGI offers two ways to participate in conveyor for a cause, now through October 31, 2024. Farmers can submit their bids for the pink limited-edition conveyor or the public can donate. AGI will announce the winning bid in November.
