Agri-Pulse will host another “Great Tomato Challenge” in Sacramento, California. The competition is open to members of the California Senate and Assembly members and their staff members.
“In celebration of both National Agriculture Day and Earth Day, we are launching round three of the “Great Tomato Challenge,” said Agri-Pulse Founder Sara Wyant. “Thanks to Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Anna Cabellero and our generous sponsors, we are offering a fun competition that educates participants about the challenges of growing delicious tomatoes in the Golden State while also helping those most in need of fresh, local food.”
Agri-Pulse will make a $1,000 donation to the winner’s choice of a California Food Bank and a $500 donation to the second-place winner. Both will be invited to speak at the Agri-Pulse Food & Ag Issues Summit in Sacramento on June 2. You can learn more about last year’s winners here.
We are excited to again be a sponsor of the great tomato challenge. This competition allows us to spend time growing our own food, and understanding the challenges it takes to produce great tasting, high quality fruits and vegetables. We can’t wait to see how the Vegetables by Bayer Seminis® brand Husky Red Cherry Tomatoes performs with the California State Assembly and Senate and staff,” noted Jenny Maloney, Global-Americas Strategic Accounts Manager at Bayer CropScience Vegetable Seeds.
The Great Tomato Challenge is made possible by a collaboration between Agri-Pulse and several sponsors who are involved with growing and processing fresh fruits and vegetables, including Vegetables by Bayer, Bonnie Plants, and California Women for Agriculture.
