In this picture Harvey Hancock (center) is awarded his Boll Box of treated seed from Wes Joost, D&PL district salesman (left), and Robbie Long, Syngenta Seed Care Sales representative (right). That’s his prize from a D&PL seed treatment promotion.
Cotton seed costs for Harvey Hancock of Slaton, Texas will be slightly lower this planting season after winning a Delta and Pine Land Company Boll Box containing the D&PL variety of his choice treated with AVICTA Complete Pak seed treatment.
The giveaway was part of a joint seed and seed treatment promotion by D&PL, the nation’s leading provider of cotton planting seed, and Syngenta Crop Protection, which developed and markets AVICTA Complete Pak seed treatment. Hancock, who farms cotton in Crosby County, Texas near the Robertson Community, will take his Boll Box with DP 164 B2RF, a mid-full maturity variety from D&PL.
Hancock’s name was randomly selected from participants who responded to a mailing regarding leading D&PL cotton varieties and the AVICTA Complete Pak, which is a promotional combination comprised of AVICTA nematicide, Cruiser insecticide and Dynasty CST fungicide seed treatments.
Completely unrelated to this story is the fact that I Googled “D&PL” while creating this post and AgWired shows up as result #8 on the first page of results. That’s out of almost 30,000 results in fact. Not bad for a little old industry blog don’t you think?
