It is without a doubt one of the proudest moments of my short (12 years) AG growing career to see that a European AG holds the WR.

Beni has proven his ability 3 times this year almost unbeleaveable, but we must believe it, and I for one will never forget this year.

Congrats Beni, take some time for you and your family and come back in 2015 with even heavier goals!

Owen that is a very well said. I want to second your statement wholeheartedly. I would never have thought that this could ever be possible. Huge Congrats Beni!

Awesome achievement Beni! I did not think a European grower would ever do it, a world record, and the top three! If Beni does it again next year everyone will start growing in greenhouse's! (Lol)

Heino, it is really nice to see your post, our memories go back 8 years to the first European Patch Tour.

Did we ever really believe back then what Beni has accomplished? I don't think so, we tried hard, we believed in our abilities, but we never broke through.

Beni has done it, and I cannot take my hat off enough.

Owen, I cannot thank you enough for being the first one who sent me seeds and gave me advice in growing AGs. You have done a lot for the growers in Germany and Europe as well. One example was the European Patch Tour that you have brought to life. Some of us probably believed this could happen one day, I will admit I was sceptical. History has been made by an exceptional grower and also as a result of a community sharing experience, ideas and means to bring the hobby forward.
