Search for Century Farms under way in Missouri

Missouri

The search is on for Missouri farms that have been in the same family 100 years or more.

To qualify for Missouri Century Farm status, farms must have been owned by the same family for 100 consecutive years. Farms that have been in the same family since Dec. 31, 1910, are eligible to apply and be recognized this year.

The line of ownership from the original settler or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nephews or nieces, including through marriage or adoption.

For applications received by May 1, a $45 fee covers the cost of certificates, farm signs and booklets for approved applicants. If the application is received between May 1 and May 17, the cost is $55. Applications must be postmarked by May 17 to be considered.

For application forms and information, call Extension Publications toll-free at 800-292-0969, the nearest County Extension office, or go online to http://extension.missouri.edu/centuryfarm.
