Sandra Duncan won The Western Producer’s #plant16 photo contest with the following image!
Here is Duncan describing her picture:
“I captured this image…early (in the) morning April 2 while checking for calves on the family farm near Eckville, AB. I’m sure many farmers can relate to crawling out of bed in the wee hours of the morning to go check cows and despite being eager to go back to bed, take a moment to admire the night sky.”
