Wisconsin farm photographer Connie Rohloff's image of a restored Farmall tractor has been selected for the May page of the 2027 Premier Community Bank Calendar Photo Contest. As a farm photographer, every photograph tells a story — some capture the beauty of Wisconsin's countryside, while others preserve the people, traditions, and landscapes that make rural life so special.
Seeing one of my favorite images recognized this way makes the experience even more meaningful.
Photography has taken me to countless farms, country roads, and rural communities across Wisconsin, and being chosen for this calendar is a wonderful reminder that the moments we capture can resonate with others in ways we never expect.
The selected image features a beautifully restored vintage Farmall tractor, proudly displayed in a Wisconsin field alongside a loyal Dalmatian and an American flag waving in the summer breeze.
To me, this photograph represents much more than antique machinery.
It tells the story of hardworking farm families, Wisconsin's agricultural heritage, and the pride that continues to shape our farming communities.
Whether I'm photographing historic equipment, working farms, or the people who keep agriculture alive, every image helps preserve a small piece of Wisconsin's story.
Having this photograph selected for the Premier Community Bank 2027 Calendar is an incredible honor for a Wisconsin farm photographer.
Local calendars become part of people's homes and businesses throughout the year, allowing photographs like this to celebrate the beauty of our communities month after month.
As a photographer, there's something especially rewarding about knowing an image will be enjoyed by so many people throughout the year.
This recognition also reminds me why I continue to photograph Wisconsin's farms and rural landscapes—because every field, every barn, every tractor, and every family has a story worth preserving.
One of my favorite parts of Wisconsin farm photography is discovering unexpected moments. Sometimes it's the perfect morning light across a field. Other times it's a farmer sharing the history behind a tractor that's been in the family for generations—or a loyal dog patiently sitting beside a beautifully restored piece of agricultural history.
Those authentic moments are impossible to stage, and they're often the ones that become the most meaningful photographs.
