New look and main sponsor for Bret Berg's Money Maker

The modified tractor called ‘’Money Maker’’ of Bret Berg from Farmington, Minnesota in the USA has a new main sponsor on the tractor for the 2020 season. After many years with the seed producer ‘’LG Seeds’’ as the main sponsor on the machine, the sponsor contract ran out and was not renewed at the end of the 2019 season. But a new main sponsor on the 4 Sassy Racing V 8 Hemi powered tractor was quickly found for the 2020 season. The Team around Bret Berg signed a multi-year contract with the company called ‘’Renk Seed’’ from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin in the USA. The Money Maker tractor received a new look and vinyl graphics on the fenders and the side shields. The tractor ran for the first time with his new look at the NFMS Pull in Louisville, Kentucky. It was a positive event for them with the new main sponsor on the tractor, they achieved a nice 3rd place finish at the finals in the Freedom Hall on Saturday night.
About Renk Seed:
Renk Seed is a family-owned and operated company that prides itself on being progressive and responsive to its customers’ needs. This philosophy has kept us growing for over 70 years.
Renk Seed traces its roots back to 1846.
This was when Joseph and Katherina Renk came to Wisconsin to farm after leaving Germany. Over the years the farm slowly grew and in 1936 the farm, under the ownership of William, Joseph’s grandson, and William’s two sons, Walter and Wilbur, was incorporated as William F. Renk and Sons.
This was the first family farm to incorporate in the U.S. Another son, Robert, joined the company later. It was around this time in the early 1930s that universities were starting to push the benefits of hybrid corn. Renk Seed was in the forefront, growing and selling hybrid seed corn, the cornerstone of its business today.
Renk’s sheep business garnered a lot of headlines through its history with its production of several grand champions of Shropshire, Suffolk and Hampshire breeding. When the herd was dispersed in 1952 all breeds were sold at the highest average price obtained up to that time anywhere in the world.
In 1968 Richard, Steve and John took ownership of the company from Walter, Wilbur and Robert. By then the company was heavy into raising cattle in addition to its sales of hybrid corn seed and oats.
The seventies saw Renk Seed expand both domestically and abroad, adding Canada and Europe to where it did business. Renk started selling alfalfa seed at this time.
In 1990 Renk decided to quit raising beef and at the same time added soybean seed to their product lineup. It was then that the old processing tower (built in 1946) was torn down and a new tower was erected.
In 2000 the current generation of Renks: Jeff, Alex and Brett, took over ownership of the company.
In 2013 Renk had a major expansion with a new soybean processing tower, bulk storage and additional warehouse space.
Renk Seed has at one time or another raised sheep, hogs, dairy and beef in addition to selling corn,
soybeans, wheat, oats, alfalfa and grasses. Renk Seed still farms to this day, producing the vast majority of what it sells. The Renk Family, along with the Renk Seed Company, has always been very innovative and forward thinking. The Renk farm had the first silo erected in the county in 1898, had one of the first tile drainage systems installed in Wisconsin in 1916 and had the first dairy herd to go on DHIA in Wisconsin. William Renk helped set up the Production Credit Association in Wisconsin and Michigan. Wilbur Renk was one of the founding members of the World Dairy Expo. Walter and Richard Renk were instrumental at getting the UW-Madison Veterinary School started and set up an agriculture business degree at the UW. Renk Seed did groundbreaking work on narrow row corn back in the late sixties. The Renk farm was one of the first to adopt no-till in its area.
Today Renk Seed continues its forward thinking with new innovations such as one of the first seed companies to offer Farm Plan, the first to use a robotic palletizer and now the first seed company to offer radar-in-motion and commodity markets on its website. Renk means Results!
The 3 time NTPA Grand National Champion and 5 time Enderle Pull Off winner Bret Berg will compete again with his ''Renk Seed Money Maker'' in the NTPA Grand National Championship (Modified and Unlimiteds) and in the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Champions Tour this year.
