HAGIE STS14 SPRAYERS WINS MAGIE SHOWSTOPPER AWARD
BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Aug. 22, 2007 – The STS14 Sprayers from Hagie Manufacturing was named the winner of the first annual ShowStopper Award, presented by CropLife IRON magazine and the Illinois Fertilizer & Chemical Association (IFCA) at the Midwest AG Industries Exposition (MAGIE) in Bloomington, IL. The honor was given to the product at the equipment trade show that generated the most “buzz” among attendees or had the most foot traffic during the show’s first day.
“To celebrate the big show that MAGIE is, we thought it needed a big award,” said Eric Sfiligoj, editor of CropLife IRON, introducing the winner. “At every MAGIE, there is that one product that makes everyone stop and take notice. At the 2007 show, that product was the STS14 from Hagie.”

Cut to the heart of any ag retail operation, and you'll find IRON. Whether it's in the field -- sprayers, spreaders, tenders, trucks, and trailers, or at the plant -- front end loaders and skid steers, blenders and mixers, you can be sure that big iron is helping retailers make it happen, day in and day out. |

The STS14 features a 1,400-gallon solution tank, a 275-horsepower engine, and tandem hydrostatic pumps. The unit at the MAGIE also sported the company’s new 120-foot boom option and the auto boom height control system manufactured by Norac, Inc.
“It’s good to know that what we have to offer is exciting to everyone here,” said Jim Williams, product marketing engineer, accepting the award. “I’m glad that our display is catching everyone’s eye.”
IFCA President Jean Payne added that part of the reason her association and CropLife IRON introduced the ShowStopper Award in the first place was to acknowledge those exhibitors that go above and beyond at MAGIE. “We like to see our exhibitors put in the extra effort to really get people to stop at their booths,” said Payne. “It’s easy to set up a booth. It’s another thing to set up a product that makes people stop and go ‘wow.’ Congratulations to Hagie for accomplishing this.”
Coverage of the award ceremony will be in the Sept/Oct issue of CropLife IRON.
