Centennial Farms nomination deadline extended to May 15

DENVER – Colorado Centennial Farms seeks nominations from families who
have owned and operated their farm or ranch for 100 years or more to be
honored at the 24th Annual Centennial Farms celebration at the State
Fair in Pueblo in August. Farmers and ranchers nominating their property
must provide information about the history of their farm and its
buildings by May 15.

To be designated a Colorado Centennial Farm:

• Farming or ranching properties must have remained in the same family
  continuously for at least 100 years;

• Each property must still be a working farm or ranch;

• Farms or ranches must have a minimum of 160 acres; however, properties
  with fewer than 160 acres can qualify if they gross at least $1,000 in
  annual sales.

History Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society, and the Colorado
Department of Agriculture created the Colorado Centennial Farm Program
in 1986 to recognize the important role that agriculture has played in
the state’s history and economic development.
