A potato planter makes its way up the field as Ryland Nakamura of Nakamura Farms plants 130 acres of spuds April 10 west of Barnwell, Alta.

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.”
