Since its peak in 1986, the breast cancer death rate has been nearly cut in half. Today, the 5-year survival rate continues to improve. But there is still work to do!
Ag Growth International’s (AGI) Canadian farm team has released a pink limited-edition UCX³ U-trough belt conveyor to raise funds to support breast cancer awareness.
AGI's Tom Firth, Senior Director of Manufacturing, spoke with Golden West Radio about "how" the idea became reality, the importance of farmer and ag community support, and the AGI Swift Current team's excitement about manufacturing a conveyor that drives awareness for cancer research.
