2025 Highlights From This Year's Entires
Each year brings surprises, and 2025 delivered some remarkable images. Here are a few highlights you’ll see when you explore the voting gallery.
A Rare Eagle-in-Frame Moment!
One entrant captured an American eagle perched serenely overlooking the water with a case combine equipped with a Hillco leveling system harvesting corn fields in the background. This is the kind of timing you just can’t plan, and we love sharing the sights only operators out in the field get to see.
A Future Farmer Approved, Rider-Fit Entry!
Another memorable submission came from a young fan who wanted to be part of the contest too. Instead of a full-size combine, the family shared a perfectly staged toy model Case IH combine in his ride-along from the cab of dad’s life sized one — proving that appreciation for equipment often starts early.
Creative Lighting & Dramatic Terrain
Several entries used natural light in ways that showcased the long working hours and steep terrain. Sunset silhouettes, headlights cutting across hillsides, and dust-lit fields gave this year’s gallery a strong visual identity.
These moments remind us that agriculture is both practical and beautiful — and that the people behind these machines bring their own perspective, creativity, and pride to the work.
Why Your Vote Matters
- Real users in real conditions
- Safe, practical operation across Hillco product lines
- The community of farmers and operators who make steep-terrain agriculture possible
Thinking About Entering Next Year? Here’s What Helps Your Photo Stand Out!
- Real field work! Dust, slope, crop residue, crop stands, or weather in the background tell the real story.
- Good lighting! Sunrise, sunset, or any scene where the light naturally brings out terrain, movement, or the machine.
- A Hillco product clearly visible! Any of the qualifying products count — we love seeing the variety.
- Your perspective, the secret ingredient! Your farm, your terrain, your conditions. No two operations look the same. Your photo doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be real.
