Nebraska Corn Board's FFA photo contest winners

Each year, the Nebraska Corn Board partners with local FFA chapters, with FFA students in those chapters sending in field reports and photographs from their region from planting through harvest.

The Nebraska Corn Board then uses the photos and information in Crop Progress Updates it produces throughout the growing season.

Once harvest is complete, all of the photos are are combined and judged.

Since the Corn Board is gearing up for another year of Crop Progress Reports and some great photos from FFA students, we thought we'd share the top photos from 2008-09.

The first photo (above) is from the Imperial FFA - it took first place in the action shot category.

The second photo (left) is from the Holdredge FFA - it won the close-up category.

The third photo (below) is from the Imperial FFA - it won in the expanded view category.

Other FFA chapters that participated included Heartland FFA, Norris FFA, Sutton FFA and Loup City FFA.

You can see a much larger image by clicking on any of the photos.

Keep an eye out for photos this growing season - we'll try to feature a few here on the blog.
