The Win the Bin contest has found its winner for 2023. Names were submitted for ballots at Thursday's Farmer's Appreciation Lunch in Portage la Prairie on the island. Golden West Broadcasting's Ryan Simpson gave Rob Peters a call and shared the news.

"So, you know that we are calling someone right now for a special reason. Do you know why we would be calling you?" asked Golden West Broadcasting's Ryan Simpson.

"Ohh, I hear you're giving a bin away today," responds Peters.

"How would you like a GrainMax Hopper Bottom bin worth over $25,000 from Meridian manufacturing on your farmyard?" 

"I would really appreciate one; that'd be pretty sweet," noted Peters.

He was then informed the bin was his.

Peters farms just southeast of Portage and says he had a great time at the lunch yesterday. 

Simpson then played Mary Chapin Carpenter's, "I Feel Lucky."
