Members of Team Hesston Rodeo Head to Las Vegas for Wrangler National Finals Rodeo November 04, 2013 Members of Team Hesston Rodeo Head to Las Vegas for Wrangler National Finals Rodeo DULUTH, Ga. (November 4, 2013) — Hesston by Massey Ferguson®, the industry-leading hayequipment brand from AGCO (NYSE:AGCO), announced in June that it is expanding its long-term support of the cowboys and cowgirls of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) by forming Team Hesston Rodeo. Composed of some of the top contestants in ProRodeo today, Team Hesston Rodeo became the focal point of Hesston’s support of the PRCA, a relationship that dates back to 1975. Team Hesston Rodeo’s 10-member team includes: • Luke Branquinho — Reigning 2012 Steer Wrestling World Champion — 4 world titles; • Cody Teel — Reigning 2012 Bull Riding Champion; • Sherry Cervi — 3-time World Champion Barrel Racer; • K.C. Jones — 7-time NFR-qualifying Steer Wrestler; • Fallon Taylor — 5-time NFR-qualifying Barrel Racer; • Team Ropers Kaleb Driggers (Header) and Travis Graves (Heeler) — enter the 2013 NFR 2nd in the world in team roping; • Team Ropers Dustin Bird and Paul Eaves — return to the NFR 10th in the world in team roping; and • MP Meter My Hay (“Stingray”) — Sherry Cervi’s fan-favorite barrel racing mare and the only equine member of Team Hesston. “Hesston’s brand heritage is intertwined with ProRodeo, and our consumers love and appreciate this great sport,” says Laura Lines, leader of Hesston brand marketing at AGCO. “We are extremely proud that each and every one of our Team Hesston members qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and are excited to cheer them on in their quest for a world championship title.” “It is truly an honor to be part of Team Hesston,” says steer wrestler K.C. Jones. “We still have my grandfather’s collection of Hesston NFR buckles at the house. Hesston has been an important supporter of ProRodeo and our way of life for as long as I can remember, and I am extremely proud to begin competing with Team Hesston.” “I was excited to be selected for Team Hesston because I know the value of top-quality hay, and I know that hay harvested with Hesston equipment is the very best,” asserts three-time World Champion barrel racer Sherry Cervi. “It is an honor to be part of this group of great competitors, and I know Stingray is excited about being paid in Hesston™ Hay for her efforts as well.” The Team Hesston Rodeo program will also give fans a chance to follow and interact directly with the members of Team Hesston across all social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and through the website at www.Hesston.com/TeamHesstonRodeo. In addition to getting daily photos and updates on WNFR results, fans will also have a chance to join Team Hesston’s fan club and become a part of the action with opportunities to win prizes throughout the year. Fans travelling to Las Vegas for the National Finals Rodeo in December will be treated to an interactive Team Hesston display at the ProRodeo Zone, where they will catch the unveiling of our one-of-a-kind Team Hesston inspired 2270XD Large Square Baler. # # # # MEDIA CONTACTS: To schedule interviews of Team Hesston members while on-site in Las Vegas, please contact: Jim Bainbridge, PRCA Senior PR Coordinator | [email protected] | The Wrangler NFR press room line: 702-895-1050 Jim Bainbridge cell: 719-244-6037 For all other inquiries, please contact: Lindsey Pettyjohn, AGCO | 770-232-8434 | [email protected] Dee Weeda, broadhead | 641-344-0757 | [email protected] 1 Hesston, Massey Ferguson and Hesston Hay are trademarks of AGCO. 2.

For the second year in a row, the WNFR pays a record $10 mil- lion and the barrel racers are running at an amazing $1.1 million. The huge boost in prize money led to 5 barrel racers winning over $100k & 8 barrel racers winning more than $80k at the 2015 WNFR. This was the toughest year in history to make the WNFR in bar- rel racing, in fact it took a record $79,068 just to make the Finals, this was almost $20k more than in 2015. On top of that, world leader Mary Burger became the all time regular season earnings record holder and became the 3rd barrel racer to wear the #1 on her back with her $190,977 in 2016 earnings (others are Charmayne James, 1987, Sherry Cervi, 1995). So it really was a record breaking year in 2016. On that note, Mary Burger will set another record when she runs down the alley Thursday night as being the oldest NFR contestant (either male or female) at 68 yrs old.
