Springfield, Ill. — Brandt has announced that the Nutrients for Life Foundation joined the No. 31 Brandt Chevrolet Ag car, driven by Justin Allgaier in the NASCAR Nationwide Series 250 at Richmond International Raceway. The Nutrients for Life Foundation joined The National FFA Organization, Precision Tank & Equipment, and Trademark Nitrogen as the fourth partner on the #31 Ag car, which Brandt said is an effort to build awareness of the critical contributions of agriculture to the world’s economy and food supply through the NASCAR Nationwide Series platform. “Our roots are in the fertilizer industry, and with foundations such as Nutrients for Life we can be assured a bright future,” said Brandt President and CEO Rick C. Brandt. “There are many misconceptions about fertilizer, and the Nutrients for Life Foundation does a wonderful job both in the classroom and in public educating on the benefits of fertilizers.” Allgaier joined members of Brandt and Nutrients for Life at a special classroom visit in the Richmond area with students who participated in a car design contest themed “Racing to Feed the World.” The winner was selected by Allgaier. “Crop nutrients are critically important to feeding the world and are essential not just to agriculture, but everyone,” said Harriett Wegmeyer, executive director of Nutrients for Life. “On a daily basis we work with students and educators across the country to inform them about crop nutrients and why we use them. Our partnership with Brandt helps to extend the reach of our message.”
