Picture Agriculture In Georgia - 2011 Photo Contest
The Georgia Farm Bureau Young Farmer Committee would like to provide an opportunity for GFB’s members to showcase agriculture and to encourage appreciation of rural Georgia. This competition offers amateur photographers the chance to explore the many activities, seasons, triumphs, disappointments and faces of agriculture, our state’s key industry. The photos that win this competition will capture the image and spirit of agriculture and Farm Bureau in Georgia.
