Nominations are Now Closed for the 2026 Sowing Good Deeds Contest

Grounded in the same values that define rodeo communities, Massey Ferguson® proudly presents the Sowing Good Deeds contest.

In recognition of the vital role PRCA-sanctioned rodeos play in supporting local, regional and national charities, this program shines a spotlight on rodeo committees across the country who are making a meaningful difference in their communities.

Each year, five finalists are selected from dozens of nominations, and one outstanding committee is awarded a 4700 Global Series Utility Tractors —a symbol of our commitment to straightforward, dependable equipment that works as hard as they do.
