NEW YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY SEEKING
CENTURY FARMS FROM WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE
Farms Operating 100 Years Sought For Recognition
The New York State Agricultural
Society is seeking applications from farms in continuous ownership by the
same family for 100 years or more. The farms selected from applications
received will be honored as "Century Farms" at the Society's Annual
Meeting January 8, 2009, in Syracuse.
Since 1937 the Society
has celebrated farms that have thrived for hundreds of years in the hands of
the same family. It is a hallmark role of the organization. This year, the
Society is seeking to recognize Century Farms from the Eastern half of the
state.

education, leadership development and recognition programs--remains its focus
today.
