🌾 Celebrate Your Family Farm Legacy! 🌾

Applications are now being accepted for the Iowa Century Farm and Heritage Farm Awards!

🏡 Century Farms
The Century Farms Program recognizes and honors families who have owned their farmland for 100 years or more. The program began in 1976 as part of Iowa’s Bicentennial Celebration, when more than 5,000 certificates and farm markers were awarded across the state.

🌟 Heritage Farms
The Heritage Farm Program, established by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship in partnership with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, honors farm families who have owned at least 40 acres for 150 years or more.

Families selected for these honors will be recognized here locally and again at the Iowa State Fair!

If your family farm qualifies, we encourage you to apply and be recognized for your dedication, stewardship, and agricultural heritage.

📞 For more information or to apply, please leave a voicemail at:
563-920-8447 or 563-920-5337. Only voice mails will be returned.

Help us celebrate Iowa farm families and the generations who have built their legacy on the land! 🚜
