For the third year in a row, DeLaval International sponsored the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists photo contest, presented at the annual congress, which was just held in Japan.

DeLaval PR director Carina Kit presented the awards during the congress, with the help of IFAJ president David Markey. The winner was “The beauties of the winter in Schleswig-Holstein” from the yearly calendar for Schleswig-Holstein.

Carina says they sponsor the contest because it rewards journalists for creativity in photography representing agriculture all over the world. The rest of the contest entries can be seen here on the IFAJ website.

Carina also told us all about the DeLaval sponsored website milkproduction.com, which features “practical, objective, plug and play information for dairy farmers all over the world.” She says the website gets some 10,000 visitors on a regular basis, about 30 percent from the United States.

Here is an interview with Carina with more information about DeLaval, the IFAJ congress and the website:
