‘Colorado ... it’s AgriCultural’ photo contest winner is Brandee Gillham

Colorado agriculture provides picturesque landscapes for both amateur and professional photographers.  Winning entries in the 22nd annual “Colorado ... it’s AgriCultural” photography contest showcase the state’s agricultural diversity, from crops being harvested in dim evening light before a storm and a close-up of a curious cow to aerial views of fields and pollinators at work.

“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. “It is encouraging to see young and beginning farmers interested in pursuing a career in agriculture.”

The winners were selected based on relation to Colorado agriculture, creativity and technical quality. The grand-prize winner, which best depicts the “spirit” of Colorado agriculture, is Brandee Gillham of Peetz, with the entry entitled “Pursue the Dream.” The winning photograph shows a young cowboy watching his family herd cattle.
