The 22nd annual “Colorado… it’s AgriCultural” Photography Contest saw the winning entry highlight the next generation of Colorado agriculture.
“Judges were excited to see the next generation of Colorado agriculture featured in the winning photo,” said Wendy White, marketing specialist at the Colorado Department of Agriculture, in the announcement of the winners.
“It is encouraging to see young and beginning farmers interested in pursuing a career in agriculture.”
The grand-prize winner, which best depicts the “spirit” of Colorado agriculture, was Brandee Gillham of Peetz, CO.
Her winning entry was entitled, “Pursue the Dream,” and shows a young cowboy watching his family herd cattle.
Other top finishers from across Colorado include Travis Harvey of Pueblo, first place in the “ag from above” category; Allison Porter of Cortez, first place in the crops category; Michael McCaffrey of Cope, first place livestock; Ethan Voth of Monument, first place urban agriculture; and Bryan Harding of Loveland, first place open professional.
