The deadline to apply for the Century and Heritage Farm program for this year is June 1st. – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, Bill Northey, says families who have owned their farm for 100 years can designate them as “Century Farms” and those farms in the family for 150 years or more are “Heritage Farms.”
He says as you look back 150 years ago, some areas of the state didn’t have as many farms. But he says that has been changing.
You can find an application for Century or Heritage Farm awards on the Department of Agriculture’s website at: www.IowaAgriculture.gov .
