2014

The National Corn Growers Association announced the 16 winners of the 2014 Fields-of-Corn Photo Contest, a contest that provided aspiring photobugs of all types the opportunity to share in – and visually communicate – the great beauty and hard work that make up American agriculture.

Winning the grand prize was Krista Kappes of Ada, Minn. Her image of a father and young daughter walking through an emerging corn field struck a nerve with voters and judges alike, because of its emphasis on family farming and sharing agriculture with future generations. More than 400 photos were entered and judged online by thousands of viewers.

In addition to the grand prize, photographs were judged across five specific categories and three winners were named for each category.
