farmers and ranchers to submit a brief story about their dog, plus up to four accompanying photos. For details, see cfbf.com/farmdogcontest. You can also meet last year’s winners at bit.ly/FarmDogDevotion.
Placemats honor agriculture
Diners at dozens of Santa Cruz County restaurants can admire placemats featuring artwork and a poem this summer. Each year, in conjunction with
National Agriculture Day, the county’s Farm Bureau sponsors a poster contest for kindergarteners through sixth graders and a poetry contest for seventh through 12th graders, both centering around agriculture. The contest typically draws hundreds of entries. Each of the 20,000 placemats will feature the winning image and poem, along with some fun farm facts.
