Indianapolis - May 31, 2012
Angie Davis, of Sumner Peanut Co. in Sylvester, Ga., has won a $1,000 Cabela’s® gift card from PhytoGen® cottonseed.
Davis, a second-generation owner of Sumner Peanut Co., was drawn from all participants in the First Team Retailer Program. Membership in the elite program is based on sales performance, product service and promotional activities on behalf of PhytoGen.
“Sumner Peanut Co. was an early supporter of PhytoGen cottonseed and an initiator of PhytoGen growth in Worth County,” says Marvin Stewart, sales representative for Dow AgroSciences. “It’s great to see the Davis family win this prize.”
Stewart began working with the farmer-retailer 20 years ago. Davis’ father, the late Gordon Sumner, President of Sumner Peanut Co. was among PhytoGen cottonseed’s first fans.
