Hesston by Massey Ferguson again sponsors the WNFR
Mar. 1, 2012, Duluth, GA - Hesston by Massey Ferguson is going back to its roots by sponsoring the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) in 2011 and plans to continue this sponsorship in the years to come. Hesston was a long-time supporter of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and the Wrangler NFR, beginning in 1974. Now Hesston by Massey Ferguson is carrying on the tradition by becoming the official farm equipment company of the PRCA with high visibility during the PRCA-sanctioned WNFR.
“We are proud to again be an official sponsor of this exciting event,” says Todd Stucke, director of hay and harvesting for Hesston by Massey Ferguson. “Just as rodeo and hay production have a shared heritage in the West, Hesston’s sponsorship of the WNFR is an important part of our heritage that we wish to continue.”
The WNFR, held in Las Vegas from Dec. 1–10, is sanctioned by the PRCA, the largest and oldest rodeo-sanctioning body in the world and the recognized leader in professional rodeo.
The WR Series includes many industry firsts, such as the easy-to-use C1000 monitor that controls nearly every aspect of the windrower, providing exceptional operating precision and efficiency.
From mowers, conditioners and rakes to the industry’s popular MF2170 Series large square balers, Hesston by Massey Ferguson offers industry-leading American-made solutions for the operator harvesting hay for his own livestock as well as solutions for the largest commercial hay producer.
