Kansas Farm Bureau is continuing, in 2022, its recognition of “Sesquicentennial Farms” in conjunction with the Bureau’s Annual “Century Farm” Program. The Century Farm Program honors farms with ownership of at least 80 acres within the same family for 100 years or more. The Sesquicentennial Farm Recognition goes beyond that to farms in the same family for 150 years. Both programs require an applicant to be a farm bureau member in Kansas.
In August 2021, Franklin County Farm Bureau recognized two Centennial Farms: Hobbs Family Farm and the Lyndell Beauchamp Family Farm. In addition, they were thrilled to recognize two sesquicentennial farms for having been in the same family for 150 years or more: Harley & Janet Broers Family Farm and the Britte Jack Gilmore Family Farm.
The deadline to be part of the 2022 program is May 15th.
