Georgia farmers have long known that the state offers bountiful agricultural scenery. And the entries in the Georgia Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers 12th Annual Picture Agriculture in Georgia Photo contest serve as proof. The contest drew more than 90 contestants who submitted more than 200 photos.

Congratulations to Holly Gordon of Douglas County for winning the contest and the $150 grand prize! Her photo of young piglets will be featured on the cover of the 2022 GFB Young Farmers & Ranchers calendar available at most county Farm Bureau offices in January.

The calendar will also feature the 11 honorable mention winners, who each received a $75 prize. The GFB YF&R Committee judged the submitted photos and narrowed them down to a group of 19. Voting to choose the overall winner and the honorable mentions was held via Facebook.

The honorable mention winners were: Amy Meeks, Coffee County; Becky McInvale, Crawford County; Cretia Ariail, Franklin County; Jesse Fleming, Houston County; Katie Williams, Morgan County; Kendall Jimmerson, Colquitt County; Louie Perry, Colquitt County; Michael Chafin, Colquitt County; Molly Rabalais, Upson County; Ricky Minter, Fayette County and Ross Kendrick, Turner County.

The YF&R Committee thanks all GFB members who entered the contest. Look for contest details about the 2022 contest on GFB social media and at county offices. If you are interested in entering the 2022 contest, ask your county office to notify you when it receives contest details.
