This year the grand prize winner, announced at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, is Marc-André Pilon from Saint-Polycarpe, Que._x000D_

“Winning the grand prize is an honour and still hasn’t completely sunk in yet,” Pilon said. “Winning this prize will open many doors for both my family and my operation, and I thank DuPont Pioneer for enabling us to pursue our dreams.”_x000D_

Collin Phillip, who serves as DuPont Pioneer business director for Eastern Canada, says that the Seed for Life contest provides winners with the opportunity to reallocate funds they would normally use to purchase their seed for other dreams, such as college tuition for their children, a family vacation, or new farm equipment.
