The Expo went pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Reinke Irrigation special-ordered pink wheels for this irrigation pivot to raise money for an Expo employee who's battling breast cancer.

It's certainly an attention grabber.

Company officials say it shows their commitment to more than just selling center pivots.

Mike Mills said, "we realize that many of the production agricultural operations are family operations. And breast cancer touches so many families that it was important enough to try to highlight the opportunity to raise some money to do some research to help support the women who are valiantly battling this disease."

Mike Mills says the company exceeded their money-raising goal on day one of the Expo and people were generous again today.
