CCS has another ag poster winner

    Chase County students continue to be recognized statewide for their artistic talent and knowledge of agriculture.
    For a fourth straight year, a CCS student has placed in the top three in the Nebraska Department of Agriculture’s Ag Week poster contest.
    CCS second grader Joel Adle took third place honors this year in the grade 1-2 division
    NDA received a record number of entries this year for the contest, more than 2,100, from students in grades 1-6 around the state, all highlighting agriculture, Nebraska’s number one industry.
     “The students who participated in this year’s contest really understand how important agriculture is to Nebraska and had fun ways of showing how to celebrate our number one industry,” said NDA Director Sherry Vinton.
     NDA announced poster contest winners during National Ag Week last week to highlight the diversity of agriculture and to celebrate the food, feed and fuel that farmers, ranchers and ag industry workers provide every day.
    This year’s theme was “Celebrating Nebraska Agriculture,” and were judged in three separate categories: first and second grade; third and fourth grade; and fifth and sixth grade.
    The poster contest is in its 20th year.
    The posters and list of winners are on NDA’s website at nda.nebraska.gov/kids.
