Growth Energy and New Holland Agriculture are pleased to announce that the 2015 Growth Energy Individual Member Sweepstakes winner is Mr. Bill Howell.  He has won a Boomer 47 tractor with Growth Energy racing decals.  The tractor will be presented by Haley Equipment in Carroll, Iowa.

“We are proud to support farmers and those who choose to work the land and who work so hard every day to grow crops to help feed the world and fuel our nation,” said Growth Energy Co-Chair, Tom Buis. “Our members are working hard to revitalize our rural economies, create new jobs and ensure our nation will have a sustainable and secure energy future. This sweepstakes was part of a larger effort to continue to build grassroots support for biofuels across the country. Our growing grassroots advocates, such as Mr. Howell, help promote our industry and ensure that lawmakers in Washington understand the important role biofuels play in America’s heartland.”
