What does Agriculture mean to you? Agriculture is the foundation of our country. It’s made possible by the hard work of America’s farms and farm families. These individuals have been essential for many years.

Farmers continue to work hard to provide us with the food we have on our tables, the clothes we wear, and the many other things we use & enjoy on a daily basis.

On Tuesday, March 19, we recognized National Ag Day – a day to celebrate the less than two percent of the population who provide food, fiber, and fuel to all of us. Agriculture is no doubt our most important industry and National Ag Day is a chance for us to recognize and show our appreciation for all farmers do.

In celebration of National Agriculture Week (March 17th -23rd, 2024), the Johnson County Farm Bureau Women held a photo contest encouraging local students in 4th-12th grades to enter photos with the subject being “What does Agriculture mean to you?” The Farm Bureau women would like to recognize the following students and their winning photos.

The 2nd place photo, titled “Rooftop Rooster”, was entered by Christian Harris, a 5th grade homeschool student. The 3rd place photo, titled “Doing What I Love”, was entered by Julia Crews, a 10th grade student from Johnson County High School. Photos earning Honorable Mention were Skylar Mason, a 6th grader from Laurel Elementary School, Tanner Miller, a 5th-grade Homeschool Student, and Sophia Perez, a 6th grader from Laurel Elementary School.

Students who also entered photos into this year’s contest were Joseph Ketola, a 5th-grade homeschooler; Wilson Harris, a 6th-grade Homeschooler; John Ketola, a 6th-grade Homeschooler; Jesse Ketola, an 8th-grade Homeschooler; and Katie Timbs, a 10th-grade student from Johnson County High School.

The Farm Bureau Women were pleased with this year’s participation and would like to congratulate these students for sharing what agriculture means to them.

It is very important that we appreciate the farmer, not only during National Agriculture Week, but all throughout the year. They work hard year-round to provide us with the best quality products possible. Remember, without farmers- there is no food! Thank a Farmer today.
