Agricultur­e for Life (Ag for Life) is announcing the return of its Farm Babies photo contest for another year. A unique contest designed to celebrate new beginnings, honour life and highlight the hard-working farmers who are committed to caring for their new babies.

With spring now definitely in the air, it is suddenly baby season again. Different animals produce varying numbers of offspring, which can make farm management exciting, if not occasional­ly stressful. With this photo contest, Ag for Life is sharing the gift of new life on the farm while shining some light on the hard-working farmers. The contest will run from April 12 to May 31, 2022. “So much care goes into raising livestock. By sharing these photos and stories we hope to help educate Albertans about life on the farm and the vital role agricultur­e plays in our daily lives,” says Luree Williamson, the CEO of Ag for Life.

Photograph­s must be taken in Alberta of farm animals born between Jan. 1 and May 31, 2022. One grand prize winner will receive a gift card valued at $200. The winner will be announced on June 28, 2022. Participan­ts are encouraged to share their photos online using the hashtag #FarmBabies­22.

Ag for Life (Agricultur­e for Life) has the mandate to deliver educationa­l programmin­g designed to improve rural and farm safety while building public understand­ing around the agricultur­al industry. Ag for Life is made possible through the funding and commitment of companies that employ almost 20,000 people in more than 350 Alberta communitie­s. Founding Members include AdFarm, Glacier FarmMedia, Nutrien, Rocky Mountain Equipment and UFA Co-operative Limited.
