< 1 minute read
The Michigan State Horticultural Society sponsored a raffle at the Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable & Farm Market EXPO in Grand Rapids, Mich., for growers who participated in USDA’s 2011 Michigan Fruit Acreage Inventory Survey.
The 2012 Michigan Apple Queen, Marissa Tidey, center, and first runner-up Emily Heeren drew the name with the help of Jay Johnson, right, from USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. The winners of the 47-inch TV were Sam and Teresa Babb from Hartford, Mich.
“It was a very simple survey and we got it back in the mail the next day,” Teresa said. “We were very surprised and feel very lucky. We really appreciate it.”
