Win Free Groceries for a Year!

July 13, 2011

Want to win free groceries for a year?

The Illinois Farm Families (IFF) coalition — commodity groups for beef, corn, soybeans, pork, and Farm Bureau — kicks into a higher gear for summer by bringing a national program, “Farmers Feed Us,” to Illinois.

“Farmers Feed Us” is a sweepstakes contest that runs for 90 days, through Oct. 2. Two grand prizes of free groceries for a year ($5,000) will be offered.

Participants must visit the Farmers Feed Us website for a chance to win the free groceries and other prizes. Watch all five videos to learn about Illinois farmers and to enter the giveaway. Featured farm families are: Ron and Deb Moore, soybean farmers from Roseville; Brent and Kathy Scholl, pork farmers from Polo; Dale and Linda Drendel, dairy farmers from Hampshire; Mike and Lynn Martz, beef producers from Maple Park; and Steve and Elizabeth Ruh, corn farmers from Sugar Grove.

The launch is a publicity activity to begin a long-running series of events for the IFF coalition. IFF activities seek a dialogue between farmers and consumers about farmers and farming.

County Market grocery stores, with 33 Illinois locations, is the retail partner for this promotion.

      Hi Nancy,

      This isn’t a scam – you actually have to click on the farmers’ names to watch the video and see the entry form. I believe the icon on their site is just an image, not something you click. Below the icon, you should see “Select a Farmer Below to Enter …” and that is where you click the farmers’ names to enter. For example, clicking on the first farmer will send you here, http://www.farmersfeedus.org/il/corn/10/sweepstakes/enter/296, where you can enter. You can submit one entry form per farmer, which increases your chance of winning. Please let me know if this helps.

      Thanks,

      Kim,
      I promise it wasn’t a scam. The contest closed at the end of 2011 and is no longer open to enter.

      Thanks for reading,
