First Place

Shannon Douglass, Glenn County Farm Bureau member

An inexpensive camera stashed in a diaper bag captured this first-place photo of Kelly Douglass installing irrigation pipe. "I brought our new baby Heath with me to say hello, which is why I happened to have the camera in my diaper bag," said wife, mother and rancher Shannon Douglass. "While we waited for Kelly to get to where we could sit and visit, I decided to snap some pictures."

Second Place

Keith Gentz, Placer County Farm Bureau member

When farmer Keith Gentz noticed native grasses flourishing in a highway median last spring, he was quick to act. "I called Caltrans to ask if I could mow and bale it," he said. Gentz and crew—including wife Lorrie—ended up tackling a section 4 1/2 miles long and 70 feet wide, saving the state money and providing hay for the family's cattle.
