The Ohio Soybean Association (OSA) and Ohio Ag Equipment recently announced that Kevin Kruger of Allen County has won 50 hours with an MT600 Series Challenger tractor. This promotion allowed all new OSA members who signed up by September 18 to be entered in a drawing to win free hours with the tractor. Kevin’s name was randomly selected from the entries last week during the 2014 Farm Science Review in London, Ohio.

“I joined OSA to support the long-term success of Ohio soybean farmers and the entire agriculture industry as a whole,” said Kevin. “I’m excited to have won time on an MT600 Series Challenger tractor and encourage others to consider OSA membership.”

Taking this and other opportunities to promote the work it does on behalf of its members is extremely important to OSA.

“I want to congratulate Kevin on winning the tractor, which was only possible thanks to the great partnership we have with Ohio Ag Equipment,” said Jerry Bambauer, OSA chairman and soybean farmer from Auglaize County. “OSA advocates on issues that are most important to Ohio soybean farmers and wouldn’t be possible without membership support. Ohio soybean checkoff dollars cannot legally be used for lobbying, so we thank all OSA members for their continued support.”

In addition to OSA’s partnership with Ohio Ag Equipment for new members, OSA offers a variety of membership incentives including the Seed Incentive Program, biodiesel rebates, discounts at participating companies and subscriptions to Ohio agriculture publications. All OSA members automatically become members of the American Soybean Association and receive those benefits as well.

“Congratulations to Kevin on winning the use of a MT600 Challenger tractor,” said Kelly Love, Vice President of Ohio Ag Equipment.  “Ohio Ag Equipment is dedicated to enhancing our partnership with Ohio agriculture and we are happy to support OSA.”
