Polk County Farm Bureau is pleased to announce that submissions are now open for the annual Member Photo Contest. Members are invited to share their best photographs celebrating agriculture, rural life, and the natural beauty of Polk County.

The contest is open to all current Polk County Farm Bureau members. Photos may be submitted in the following categories:

Winners in each category will be recognized at the Annual Membership Meeting and will have their photos featured in the Polk County Farm Bureau's publications and social media channels. First-place winners in each category will receive a gift card and a framed print of their winning photograph.
