A8 News Blue Mountain Eagle Farm Bureau seeks calendar photographs SALEM — The Oregon Farm Bureau is seeking photos for its 2016 Ore- gon’s Bounty calendar. The deadline for entries is Sept. 15. The award-winning calendar celebrates all aspects of Oregon agri- culture: products, people, planting/harvest, land- scape — anything that de- picts the beauty, culture, enjoyment, technology or tradition of family farm- ing and ranching in all parts of Oregon. “With summer harvest in full swing, farmers mar- kets bursting with agricul- tural bounty, and many county fairs and on-farm festivals going on, August is a great time to capture scenes of Oregon agricul- ture,” said Anne Marie Moss, communications director for the Oregon Farm Bureau. High-resolution, hor- izontal-format images — both close-ups and panoramic views — are needed of all types of agri- culture in all seasons. Sub- ject ideas include farm- ers markets; county fair scenes; close-ups of fruits, vegetables, flowers, farm animals, crops in the field; planting and/or harvesting shots; portraits of farmers, ranchers, farm families; and farm scenes in all seasons. Photographers with im- ages selected for month pages in Oregon’s Bounty will receive a photo credit in the 2016 calendar and copies of the calendar. There is no limit to the number of photos that can be submitted. Photographers can email their digital pho- to(s) to annemarie@ore- gonfb.org or put the im- age(s) on a CD and send it via postal mail to Anne Marie Moss, Oregon Farm Bureau, 1320 Capitol St. NE, Suite 200, Salem, OR 97301. Photo specifications and contest rules are avail- able at http://www.ore- gonfb.org/calendar/. For more information, contact Moss at annema- rie@oregonfb.org, 503- 399-1701.
