The Western Producer’s fall photo contest, #Harvest17, has come to an end, and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to this project.
We asked our readers to send us images of farm life and work during harvest, and we are extremely pleased with both the quality and volume of images that were submitted.
WP editors selected 20 of their favourite images from the album containing all the submitted images. To avoid having 20 similar photos in our top 20 we selected a variety of shots.
