IFCA is pleased to announce the return of selecting a Custom Applicator for the third year in a row.  Last year we had a wonderful response from our retail members with submitting nomination forms that we just had to continue the program in order to recognize even more of the outstanding applicators in Illinois.  The nomination forms were narrowed down to 4 finalists for 2023 with the winner being announced at the MAGIE show in August.  The finalists were:   

 

With that said, we need your help.  You are the ones that know your custom applicators the best, so we need your nomination forms submitted as soon as possible.  There is no limit to the number of nominations a nominator can submit but each one must be a different custom applicator.  We will not accept nominations from those that nominate themselves.  Nominators must be from a company that is a member of IFCA.  Candidates must be an ag retail operator that has a primary job of operating application equipment.  If you submitted a nomination form last year and they were not the overall winner you may nominate them again. 

 

Please use this link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ILapplicatoroftheyear2024 to submit your nomination(s).  We need some information about the nominator and the custom applicator.  The nominator also needs to answer four questions about the custom applicator.  This will help our nominating committee narrow the applications down to the top four finalists.  The deadline for nominating is May 22^nd so please hurry in submitting a form.

 

The four finalists will attend the MAGIE show on Wednesday, August 21^st where the overall winner will be announced. 

 

Please help make this program a huge success and submit your forms.
