The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) wants to see the fruits of your harvest.

USGC is encouraging all farmers to carry a camera in the combine this year to snap some photos of the harvesting of food, feed and fuel for the United States and abroad. Each photo will be entered for a free Council meeting registration for our 7th International Marketing Conference and 50th Annual Membership Meeting in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Feb. 13-17, 2010. Enter more than one photo to increase your chances of winning!

Photo entries are open to anyone. The Council will assume the rights of submitted entries for use in publications and online. Entries must be JPEG files. Submit your entries via e-mail to thegrainboard@grains.org by Nov. 1. You may also mail entries in a CD or jump drive to 1400 K St. N.W., Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20005.

While you are at it, feel free to email your photos to us here at Agwired as well. Your reward will be to see your photos with credit published on one or more of ZimmComm’s many ag-related websites. Almost as good as a free registration for a conference in Mexico!
