Remember to save your Southern States labels during the season.  They can be redeemed for cash to help with our year end awards.  If you know anyone who uses Southern States feed, ask them to save their labels for you.

 IT’S OFFICIAL:  ADM Alliance/Forage First has initiated a pilot program similar to what Southern States offers.  This pilot program only applies to our local Distributor, Poverty Hollow Feed (Heather Hockaday & Ric Greene).  They are the only authorized dealer for this program.  So if you get your feed products from Poverty Hollow Feed, save your ADM Alliance labels (Ultra Fiber, Senior Glo, Healthy Glo, Staystrong Mineral, Hay Replacer, etc.) during the season.  All of the redemption particulars are still being worked out, but you can give your labels to either Heather or Ric.  Suggest you save and provide on a quarterly basis.  Remember only those products bought from Poverty Hollow Feed are eligible.  For your own records, recommend you keep a count of what you provide.

            That’s all for now!
