New "cotton bug" will soon hit the Delta

FMC is about to unleash a new “cotton bug” in the Mississippi Delta. This one, which looks like a plant bug, is as big as a Volkswagen because, well, that’s exactly what it is. The VW Beetle also happens to be the grand prize in a promotion FMC has launched to promote its new insecticide, Carbine.

The car – dubbed the “Carbine Plant Bug” – will be given away in a special drawing, but not before it makes a tour of the Delta in June looking for Carbine signs in the fields of farmers participating in the contest. Prizes of up to $1,000 will be awarded as the car cruises through the region.
