SA Graan Februarie 2017

61 / 64

Jacques Celliers van FNB het die landbousektor aan die einde van sy
voorlegging bedank vir al die werk wat ingesit word om die uitdagings
in die sektor te hanteer. “Jul bydrae tot die gemeenskap laat my nederig
voel,” het hy gesê.
Politieke ontleding was een van die hooftemas wat Johannes Möller
in sy presidentsrede aangespreek het. “Agri SA ag die Nasionale
Tesourie as ‘n sleutelrolspeler in die ekonomie en meen dat minister
Pravin Gordhan ‘n staatmaker vir die plaaslike ekonomie is. Ons sal
voortgaan om ons te beywer vir die voortgesette ondersteuning van
minister Gordhan en sy amptenare in belang van ons land,” het hy gesê.
Mike Mlengana gesels met kongresgangers op 13 Oktober verlede jaar.

4. A participant who is announced as a monthly winner may not enter the competition
for the following three editions.

7. Photographers must provide a caption for the photo as well as their postal address

What 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.
PRIZE MONEY INCREASED
Come on, subscribe: Who knows, maybe you are one of the monthly
winners who will win R1 500 in cash or maybe you will be the one walking
away with the grand prize of R15 000 at the end of the competition.
From January 2017 a winner will be selected by a panel of judges each month
for twelve editions. The monthly winner walks away with a cash prize of
R1 500 and the twelve finalists each comes into contention for the R15 000
(winner), R10 000 (runner-up) and a third prize of R5 000. A big thank you
to Sasol who sponsored the prize money again: R48 000 in total.
