W

hat makes you nostalgic? What makes you think back and miss

the farm? An old rusting planter standing under a tree? The

milk can of days long gone by? A small child feeding an orphan

lamb? Maybe the veteran tractor that is still used to plough the field?

Or maybe the old stone wall of a kraal or a farm gate? Or maybe a century-

old farmhouse?

The theme for the 2017 Grain SA/Sasol photo competition is ‘

Farm nos-

talgia

’. We are really looking forward to see our readers’ interpretation of

this unique theme.

PHOTO COMPETITION

CLOSING DATES:

NOVEMBER 2017: 2 NOVEMBER

DECEMBER 2017: 14 NOVEMBER

For the very first time an individual has managed to bowl over the judges with his entries – to win all three places in this edition’s competition.

(The

SA Graan/Grain

photo competition is judged by an independent panel of judges.) Congratulations to Bertus Hanekom from Loxton who

shared with us some of the beauty of the Loxton district, which he captured through his lens. The winning photograph is of Sam Jooste and

Sammy Davenish herding the sheep out of the kraal at the end of their working day. This picture makes Bertus the winner of R1 500.
