Beck’s and Indiana AgriNews have announced the start of their search for the 26th Indiana Farm Family of the Year. Nominations are now being accepted for this distinguished award.
For the past 25 years, Beck’s and Indiana AgriNews have been honoring one Indiana farm family for their work on the farm, service to their community, and the agricultural industry. The award is aimed at increasing awareness of the important contributions farm families make.
“Family farms are vital to the agriculture industry but are also an integral component to rural communities,” Beck’s President Scott Beck said. “This award recognizes a family who strives to serve both.”
“As a family-owned agricultural business, AgriNews believes in the importance of farm families,” Indiana AgriNews Executive Director James Henry, “and we want to spotlight their significant contributions both on and off the farm – in agriculture and in their communities – while thanking one special family, in particular. It is our honor to present this award to celebrate the 26th Indiana Farm Family of the Year.”
