Roger and Margie Johnson of Exeter, Neb., were the winners of a Ford F150 Flex Fuel pickup truck in a contest sponsored by Growth Energy, a coalition of U.S. ethanol supporters.
Presenting the keys of the pickup was Wayne Hoovestol, chairman of Omaha-based Green Plains Renewable Energy and a member of the Growth Energy board.
The giveaway was conducted as part of the campaign launching Growth Force, the individual membership for Growth Energy.
People who signed up for Growth Force became eligible to win the truck.
Growth Force sign-up drives were held at two of the nation’s largest farm shows: the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Ill., and the Husker Harvest Days show in Grand Island, Neb.
More than 13,000 people have joined Growth Force since its inception this summer.
