Do you have a keen eye for capturing the beauty of New York's agricultural industry? Help us highlight the best of NYS's agricultural community, commodities, and livestock by submitting to the Department's 2025 Agricultural Photo Contest!

With the growing season officially underway, we want farmers to turn the cameras toward themselves for our next photo contest category! Our farms thrive on dedication, partnership, and hard work! To celebrate the people who keep New York’s farms flourishing, May’s photo contest category is “Farm Hands that Feed.”

Whether it’s a portrait of a multi-generational farming family passing down their work ethic, a spotlight on our farmworkers providing essential help during harvest, or even the four-legged companions who contribute to a working farm’s landscape, we want your best photos and action shots that spotlight the hard work that goes into our industry.
