(KLZA)-- The weeklong celebration of National Ag Week brought Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts and other state ag leaders to Falls City Monday to celebrate Richardson County being designated as a “Livestock Friendly County.”
The Governor also announced the winners of this year’s Nebraska Department of Agricutlure poster contest this week. The contest is open to first through sixth grade students across Nebraska.
Posters were created using this year’s contest theme, “Agriculture: Growing Nebraska,’ and creatively highlight our state’s number one industry.”
Nearly 1,500 entries were received this year. Selected as the “Governors Choice” Award in the 1st and 2nd grade division was a poster created by Josh Frederick, a second grade student from Falls City North School. 2nd place in this division was a poster by Brock Niedfeldt, also a second grade student at North School.
