(Indianapolis) – Oct. 13, 2025 – Indiana Farm Bureau has announced the winners of the 2025 INFB Photo Contest. The contest was open to all INFB members 18 years or older and photos were required to represent agriculture and rural life in Indiana.
The following three photographs placed in the contest and will receive a monetary prize.
The winning photos were chosen from over 365 entries submitted during the contest period of Aug. 1 through Sept. 30, 2025. They were evaluated by a panel of independent judges based on agriculture or rural focus, sharpness quality of image, subject, composition and technical quality.
Lamb’s first-place photo depicts the generational aspect of agriculture, highlighting her three children – ages 7, 5 and 2 – along with her father-in-law, as they peer down at cows eating in his cattle barn in Milford, Indiana.
“It was a really sweet moment that I wanted to capture,” explained Lamb. “Both my family and my husband’s family are involved in agriculture. My dad farms commercial crops and my father-in-law is a large-animal vet who also raises cattle. It is so fun to watch our kids, who are now getting into 4-H, embrace and enjoy agriculture too.
“I love being a visual creator. It brings me joy to see that the photos I capture have a lot of meaning.”
The second- and third-place photos depict agriculture and rural life at dusk and dawn. The second-place photo, taken by Linsie Middlesworth, shows the relationship between farmer and farm dog as they overlook the fields and enjoy the sunset. The third-place photo highlights a striking red, round barn in the morning hours with the sunrise peaking behind it.
In addition to the monetary prize, the three winning photos will be displayed at the Indiana Ag Gathering, INFB’s state convention, this December in French Lick, Indiana. The Indiana Ag Gathering will be held Friday-Saturday, December 12-13, at the French Lick Springs Resort.
