CO: ANNUAL PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST HONORS AGRICULTURE

News Date September 09, 2009

From cattle grazing in a mountain meadow to wheat blowing in the wind on the eastern plains, Colorado agriculture is evident across the state. The 12th annual “Colorado…it’s AgriCultural” photography contest is seeking entries as a way to celebrate Colorado agriculture.

“It is always so exciting to see the diversity of Colorado agriculture depicted in contest entries,” said Commissioner of Agriculture John Stulp. “This annual photo contest honors the importance of Colorado’s agriculture industry to the state economy, and I encourage photographers of all ages to enter.”
