Recognized for their families’ longstanding commitment to agriculture, 103 Indiana farm families were recently presented the Hoosier Homestead Award at the Indiana State Fair.
To be named a Hoosier Homestead, farms must be owned by the same family for more than 100 consecutive years, and consist of 20 acres or more, or produce more than $1,000 in agricultural products per year.
Based on the age of the farm, families are eligible for three different distinctions of the Hoosier Homestead Award.
They can receive the Centennial Award for 100 years, Sesquicentennial Award for 150 years or Bicentennial Award for 200 years of ownership.
In Daviess County, the David L. Brown, Joseph L. Disser, and Fuhrman farms received Centennial Awards.
The Borgmeier Farm in Knox County received a Centennial Award.
In Dubois County, the Bartelt-Peters Farm and Meyer Farm received a Centennial Award while the Bockting Farm received Centennial & Sesquicentennial Awards.
The Roudebush Farm in Greene County received a Centennial Award.
And the Shield Farm in Sullivan County was given a Centennial Award.
