🚜🌽 Kossuth County… this is your moment. Try not to blow it.

We’ve seen your photos.
Yes, YOU.
The same tractor. The same field. The same “sunset hits different” post every 3 days.

Respectfully… most of them are mid.

So let’s settle it.

👇 DROP YOUR BEST KOSSUTH COUNTY FARMING PIC

Not your “it looked better in person.”
Not your “my mom liked it.”
Your ACTUAL best.

Then go beg—
👍 likes
📲 shares
📣 group chats, Snap, whatever it takes

🏆 Top 5 win prizes
(legit ones — donated by Bumdiddly because supporting local > everything)

The rest get… character development.

🎓 All tied to the Kevin Cram Memorial Scholarship — because around here, hard work should actually go somewhere.

⏳ Deadline: April 1st

Let’s separate the real ones from the “took this from the truck window at 55 mph” crowd.

If you post it, it’s yours and we can use it to promote the foundation (we’ll credit you).

In the hardest moments following Kevin’s End of Watch, the law enforcement community stepped forward and stood beside our family and our town. Organizations like Iowa C.O.P.S. helped carry not only us, but our entire community, through a time none of us were prepared for.

Because of the continued support and generosity of so many people, we were honored to present $10,000 to Iowa C.O.P.S. to help them continue the work they do for families and communities after the loss of an officer in the line of duty.

Their mission matters. Their support matters. And the way they show up for families during unimaginable loss will never be forgotten.

Thank you to the law enforcement community, to Iowa C.O.P.S., and to everyone who continues to honor Kevin’s legacy by supporting those who walk this road after us.

We are deeply grateful.

— The Cram Family

The Sergeant Jim Smith Scholarship application is currently open and due by June 27th, 2026.

Sergeant Jim Smith of the Iowa State Patrol was shot and killed in the line of duty on April 9th, 2021. He lived his life devoted to service to God, his family, and his community. He saw the importance of being an officer in the way he went about the job. By his death, he made the ultimate sacrifice that a law enforcement officer can make: he laid down his life to save others. This scholarship is to help those seeking to go into law enforcement or those who have direct relatives who are law enforcement officers. Will you live a life of service like Sgt. Jim Smith?
