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.
