Illustrating "Christmas in the Country" could garner a young artist a healthy check and the chance to be the official High Plains/Midwest Ag Journal Christmas card.

Sept. 8 marked the official kick off of the annual Christmas Card Contest, and last year hundreds of entries were received for the 2007 contest, so be sure to get entries in quick. Whether it's with your family, at home, on the farm, in the country, or in nature-we want you to share your idea of the best Christmas gift.
