This is life

on a farm...

During their interviews, most of the contestants of the popular kykNET

series,

Boer soek ‘n vrou

, mentioned that they were looking forward

to the peace and quiet of the farm. We invite all amateur photogra-

phers who wish to show what life on a farm is really like, to enter the

2015

SA Grain

/Sasol Chemicals (Fertiliser) photo competition. How

would you capture the essence of farm life: The dawn of a new day,

the cattle ambling about or the activities of human hands? Your photo

of the tranquillity that is visible from the farm house

stoep
