Indiana State Department of Agriculture Photo Contest

The Indiana State Department of Agriculture Photo Contest has been part of the Department since 2008. These photos are a powerful testament of this hardworking community and the invaluable contributions of our Hoosier farmers.

2013 Photo Contest

All shutterbugs! Enter the 2013 Indiana State Department of Agriculture Photo Contest!

Contest winners will have their winning photographs framed and featured in the Offices of the Lt. Governor’s Family of Business in Indianapolis as well as be the special guests of ISDA  at this year’s Indiana State Fair, where they will be recognized at the Celebration of Agriculture event.
