Bailey Hawbaker from Stanley was a winner in the North Dakota Farm Bureau’s 2023 agriculture photo contest, according to the NDFB’s Promotion and Education Committee.

Hawbaker’s photo capturing a flock of birds surrounding a tractor with the North Dakota sky in the backdrop received the lifestyle category award.

The contest featured three categories: Landscape, Animals, and Lifestyle. Each winner will receive $300.

Blaine Steiger from Cavalier won the landscape category with a photo of beet harvest taking place in the evening light. The winning animal photo was taken by Karena Duvall from Lisbon and depicts the winds of North Dakota sweeping across the terrain, gently ruffling the fur of a majestic highlander cow.

Duvall was declared the overall champion. NDFB will auction her photo as a canvas print during the NDFB Annual Meeting in Fargo. The scholarship live auction will occur on Friday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn.
