LANCASTER If a picture is
worth a thousand words, then too
sliouldn’t a randomly selected
word conjure up about 1000
felicitous mental unages?
Let’s try it. Our word will be...
dairying. (Now, really, what word
were you expecting?)
When you hear the word
“dairying,” what picture comes to
your mind? Undoubtedly, it’s the
weekly coverage of dairying in
Lancaster Farming. But, if not,
maybe it’s kittens snuggled around
a milk bowl in a cob-webbed barn
comer. It could it be a field of large
bovines grazing peacefully against
a pastoral setting or goats
frolicking m the barnyard as their
kids plan tomfoolery outside
mom’s sight.
Whatever the picture, if it’s
conjured from the word
“dairying,” then we’re receiving it
in our dairy photo contest.
We decided to take a look
through our files of photos and see
how we have depicted the dairy
industry in the past. What we found
is a conglomeration of humorous,
most times unplanned pictures
sure to provoke a chuckle in the
gruffest of dairy farmers. A
photographer for Lancaster
Farming never knows what he or
she will encounter on “a trip to the
chance pictures of crazy a
kittens, and kids, we
memories of a dog bite, a n
pair of pants, several bn
cameras, lost car keys, lockei
car keys, ruined shoes, forgr
notebooks, and flat tires.
Take a look at these unp*.
snapshots and maybe you’ll
new inspiration for your
mission to the Dairy Photo
test.
As we at-Lancaster Farming
attess, nothing. is too crazy
submit!
Dairying, a job
worth 1000 pictures
