During the FMC Anthem Field Plot Tour this week I spoke with Rick Ekins, Product Manager, to get an update on the FMC Anthem Stand & Be Heard Singing Contest. There are only two days left to enter the contest. Rick is seen while we were out in the field during the demonstration portion of the tour. I think we should have made him sing the National Anthem out in the field!
According to Rick there are over 130 entries in the contest already. That’s impressive I think. You can see some of those entries on the FMC Stand & Be Heard website. Of course when it comes to voting that’s a lot of singing of the National Anthem to listen to. I already listened to several and they were all good. During my interview he explains how you can vote starting July 23.
