Ag in the Classroom recently wrapped up its 2021 Ag Day Poster Contest with over 1,500 students participating.

Students across the state could submit posters they created depicting the theme for the year, which was #AgDoesntStop, a hashtag coined by Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur in early 2020 as the pandemic began to devastate the agriculture industry in Oklahoma.

Among the winners announced was Lomega’s Aliana Lawson.

She was third in the seventh grade division.

The first-third place students were recognized at their schools by state AITC Coordinators.

They each received a framed version of their artwork, a medal and gift card sponsored by the Oklahoma Beef Council, and citations from their legislators.

Four Overall Winners were recognized at Ag Day on Tuesday, March 23 at the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture. They received a framed version of their artwork; a plaque, medal, and gift card sponsored by the Oklahoma Beef Council; and citations from their legislators.

The winning artwork will be featured on the Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom website.
