NDA ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF THE 2022 AG POSTER CONTEST

March 20-26 is National Agriculture Week, and the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) is adding to the celebration by announcing the winners of this year’s annual poster contest. More than 1,400 students in grades 1-6 from around the state entered NDA’s annual contest by highlighting Nebraska agriculture, the state’s number one industry.

“This year’s posters represented all areas of agriculture and livestock from production and conservation to transportation and food on the table, highlighting just how important the ag industry is to Nebraska,” said NDA Director Steve Wellman. “I would like to thank every student who participated in the contest along with the teachers and parents who continue to teach Nebraska youth about the important role agriculture plays in our lives every day.”

NDA announces the winners of its annual poster contest during National Ag Week to highlight the diversity of agriculture and to celebrate the food, feed and fuel that farmers, ranchers and ag industry workers provide every day. The winning posters and the names of the schools submitting entries are on NDA’s website at nda.nebraska.gov/kids.
