What is the Horizon Program? Download all the Horizon information, forms, account application and more HERE (pdf files)
Welcome 4-H and FFA members to the Fair Season! We call this our Horizon Program because we believe that supporting youth benefits our community's future. We are excited to introduce some new ideas for this year. We have changed our great pricing program to make it even better.
We continue to offer a credit account (no interest) for those animals being raised as terminal market animals. this is a great way for members to keep track of their purchases. Land 'O Lakes Purina has introduced a combination of award winning show feeds to make feeding your projects much easier. Please come into out store and let us help you with the new feeding program. You will receive personalized assistance in planning out your project from start to finish.
- Members can purchase feed for their market animals at specially reduced prices
- We also realize that many members are raising their own projects year-round so we have structured our program to give a breeding project discount all year.
- Members will receive a discount on show supplies such as shampoos, show sticks, canes, halters, and grooming aids. This discount is 10% off retail (Hay and bedding are excluded).
Our Horizon Program starts fresh each season. This allows us to coincide with the 4-H and FFA project years. This means we require members to complete a credit application each year (for charge accounts only) and a Horizon form that automatically enters you into Rainbow Ag and Purina Mills feeding program. Members who raise champion market animals and meet requirements will earn great awards.
Download complete information, account application and Horizon application here.
Come in to Rainbow in Ukiah or Lakeport and sign up for the Horizon program, and see you at the fairs! |
