Has your family owned a farm for a long time? Like a really long time, say, 150 years or more? Kansas Farm Bureau is continuing in 2025 its recognition for “sesquicentennial farms” in conjunction with its annual “Century Farm” program. The Century Farm program honors Farm Bureau members who own farms of at least 80 acres within the same family for 100 years or more. The sesquicentennial farm recognition goes to farms in the same family for at least 150 years. Kansas Farm Bureau President, Joe Newland, says one thing Kansans take pride in is the value in traditions and strong family ties through the generations of rural living.
The deadline for consideration to be part of the 2025 programs is May 15. Kansas Farm Bureau has recognized 3,210 century farms and 132 sesquicentennial farms since their inception. Complete details for qualification and applications for both programs can be obtained at County Farm Bureau Offices across Kansas or on the KFB website.
