DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig recognized thirteen
students from Iowa at the State Fair for providing the artwork that appears in
the “From the Farm to You” calendar. The
calendar was distributed to fairgoers by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and
Land Stewardship.
“The ‘From the Farm to You’ calendar emphasizes the
connection between the production of our state’s farmers and everyday products
enjoyed by Iowans. The art by these students helps showcase Iowa agriculture in
a way that can be enjoyed throughout the year,” Naig said.
Naig presented the students with a certificate during the
State Fair recognizing their selection.
The winners of the contest are listed below. Photos from the presentation can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/iowaagriculture/albums/72157673318523528.
Also, an electronic version of the calendar can be seen here.
Students can submit drawings to be considered for inclusion
in the calendar next year. Pictures
should be drawn using only black lines on plain white paper, 8 ½ by 11 inches. The pictures should not be colored. They can be submitted to the Iowa Department
of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Calendar Kids, 502 E. 9th St.,
Des Moines, IA 50319.
