A monthly photo calendar produced by the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) for the 2011-2012 crop year, beginning with August 2011 and ending with December 2012.
Marks various holidays, special dates [including the beginning and ending of Daylight Savings Time, the first day of each season, and the dates of new and full moons], and important dates related to the CWB [including PRO (Pool Return Outlook) days, various deadlines, and shipping weeks].
Included photographs have been chosen by a panel of judges from 390 entries submitted by photographers across Western Canada. Each month contains a unique photograph which reflects the contest's theme of "A Slice of Life". Selected photographs largely consist of colourful agricultural landscapes. A smaller number of photographs include individual and group portraits featuring children, adults, and animals on the farm.
Front cover contains the Grand Prize-winning photograph, captioned "The original rain gauge", showing a young girl sitting in a field of grass and pouring water out of her pink rubber boot. This photo is additionally used as the calendar's featured photograph for the month of April 2012.
