U.S. MARINE CORPS VETERAN Russell Guzzetta of Country Song Farm in Lithia was recently chosen from more than 400 applicants nationwide to receive a donated Kubota L Series compact tractor.
The giveaway was part of Kubota’s Geared to Give program. This program has been hosting a giveaway every year since 2015. Since then, Kubota has awarded 16 tractors to veterans around the country and has donated 21 tractors to American veterans upon the conclusion of the 2019 program.
A STRONG BUSINESS PLAN
Kubota director and division manager John Sargeant said Guzzetta’s strong business plan, vision for growing his family’s business, and honorable service are what distinguished him from the other applicants.
Sargeant adds, “Russell and his team are doing so much of their daily activities manually, his team would benefit greatly from the addition of a Kubota L2501 tractor and loader with a Land Pride tiller within their growing operation.”
