Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders today recognized 42 Arkansas farm families as the newest inductees into the Arkansas Century Farm Program.
The Arkansas Century Farm Program honors farms of 10 acres or more that have been owned by the same family for at least 100 years. Established by the Arkansas Department of Agriculture in 2012, the program highlights the enduring contributions of these families to the state’s agriculture industry. Participation is voluntary and offered at no cost to families.
“Our Century Farm inductees do more than just farm – they have a legacy of leadership that pays dividends across the state,” said Governor Sanders. “Thank you for keeping our country fed, our state growing, and our communities strong. We will not forget and we will keep working hard to support you in every way we can.”
“We’re proud to join Governor Sanders in adding 42 additional family farms to the Century Farm Program,” said Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture Wes Ward.
