Need Floor Covering? Help Sow the Seeds!

Local Family Business Offers Aid to Flood-Hit Farmers

By Barth Anderson

The Wedge Co-op and its members recently donated $24,000 to Sow the Seeds Fund, but one Wedge member wants to up the ante.

David Behr of local family-owned Behr's USA Flooring has a unique offer for fellow Wedge members and shoppers who want to keep sending funds to Sow the Seeds.

When you buy eco-friendly Mohawk brand carpeting from Behr's USA Flooring, they will donate $1.50 out of every square yard of carpet that you purchase. This is on top of savings of $3 to $9 per square yard that their business guarantees over the competition.

"There's no downside to this," David told the Wedge and Sow the Seeds. "People need to improve their homes. The farmers need our help. The carpet is easy on the environment. Everyone wins."

Wedge shoppers might be particularly interested in the "eco" carpeting that Behr's USA Flooring sells. Mohawk Industries is one of the world's largest recyclers of plastic bottles and water bottles, taking in 3 billion bottles per year (25% of America's total) and produce about 160 million pounds of recycled fiber annually. Durable, beautiful and easy to clean, this is "green" carpeting at its best.

"We think Wedge members will be very happy with Mohawk," David said. "It's a great choice for the green consumer."

Plus, the Behr brothers' easy, shop at home service make shopping for carpet very convenient. Rather than driving to their store, they will bring their showroom to you.

Why are Behr's USA Flooring doing this for Sow the Seeds?

David's brother Jerry said, "This is a unique way to help the farmers in need. It is also a way to increase our sales while saving Wedge Co-op members and their friends substantial dollars on their next floor covering purchase. As my brother said, this program is truly a win-win for everyone."

"I've been a Wedge member since 1979," David said. "I saw what my co-op was doing [with Sow the Seeds] and I was very proud to be a member. My brother and I wanted to help, too. We really believe that this will be an awesome generator of dollars in the fundraising efforts for Sow the Seeds."
