Dull barn project in fourth place; voting continues
Supporters of the Western Boone and Clinton Prairie high school FFA chapters are encouraging persons to vote for the Dull barn.
The Campbell Soup Company’s “Help Grow Your Soup” contest will present up to $250,000 to preserve five historic barns; one is the Dull’s Tree Farm barn in northern Boone County.
The program is part of Campbell’s effort to support the National FFA, the company said, while teaching the public about agriculture and nutrition.
Voting is done at www.helpgrowyoursoup.com; click on a barn’s icon to vote. Campbell’s will match each vote with $1, up to $250,000. The top five barns will receive money for preservation. In a Web video, Tom Dull describes the barn’s history.
With just a month left, the Dull barn is in fourth place with 10 percent of the vote. Voting ends Jan. 5.
Other barns are in Brainerd, Minn.; Bloomfield Hills and Bark River, Mich.; Whitehall, Ill.; Lewis, Iowa; Seneca, S.C.; Climax, N.C.; Stauton, Va.; and Union Bridge, Md.
