Win 2 Tickets to See Alan Jackson & Gary Allan @ the Iowa State Fair!


The Iowa State Fair is one of the largest and oldest agriculture expositions in the United States, and the team here at Growers Edge loves it!  Since its first year in 1854, the Iowa State Fair has been a tradition unlike any other.  It is the single largest event held in the state of Iowa and lately the annual attendance has reached more than one million people from all over the world.   The Iowa State Fair was named one of the “top 30 things that a Midwesterner should experience,” by Midwest Living magazine.


Along with several showcases displaying the nation’s best in agriculture and food, the Iowa State Fair has grown into a popular venue for some of the biggest stars in music today.  This year’s lineup is no different, featuring several country stars as well as rock groups.  Two of the biggest names in country music will be performing Sunday, August 18th at the Fair: Alan Jackson and Gary Allan…



 And we have 2 pairs of tickets that could be yours!

That’s why we are so excited to announce our next contest exclusively to YOU, our followers:

Growers Edge 4th of July Photo Contest


The team here at Growers Edge really enjoyed celebrating the 4th of July, and we hope that everyone had a great 4th of July weekend as well!  We also want to thank everyone who participated in the first annual Growers Edge 4th of July photo contest.   The whole idea behind the photo contest was to see the patriotic spirit of American farmers.  Everyone was encouraged to submit photos showing how they celebrated the 4th of July.  To help spice things up, the best photo won the grand prize: a box of steaks from Omaha Steaks. 

It was very tough to choose the winner of the contest!  We had several photos of food being grilled (which all looked amazing) and several others of families sitting around watching the fireworks.  We even had a photo sent to us all the way from Afghanistan!  All of these photos are displayed in the 4th of July photo album on the Growers Edge Facebook page.  They are all unique and very well done so we encourage everybody to go look through them!  Below were our top 5 photo submissions and the person responsible for submitting each photo!  Thanks again everyone!
