Nebraska Soybean President Wins New Holland Mower

New Holland mower winner Hopefully, Scott Richert’s wife believes him by now. He really did win the New Holland G4050 Zero Turn Radius mower in the drawing held at the New Holland exhibit at the Commodity Classic trade show Thursday evening.

Scott is president of the Nebraska Soybean Association and lives in Gresham, Nebraska. He was the sixth name to be drawn out of the tumbler and announced by AgriTalk host Mike Adams but the first one who was present on the trade show floor to win. But when he called his wife to tell her the news, she didn’t believe him. Scott says that when the snow finally melts in east central Nebraska, he expects to get some good use out of the new mower. “We gotta get the piles of snow off the yard yet,” he said. “But we were just talking about that it’s time for our kids to start mowing so this is going to come in pretty handy.”

Scott and his wife have four children, two girls and two boys, between the ages of 4 and 12 and the oldest daughter will be the first to learn on the new ZTR mower. Congrats!
