Has your farm and/or ranch been in the family for 100 years or more?

If so, you should receive some recognition for it.  The Montana Historical Society has a program designed to recognize farms and ranches that have remained in a family for 100 years or more.  The "Centennial Farm and Ranch Program" was created by the Montana legislature in 2009 for the purpose of recognizing and commemorating the agricultural traditions of Montana.

On November 8, many of the agricultural-related agencies in Richland County are going to host a celebration recognizing 150 years of the existence of the United States Department of Agriculture.  One of the events that we hope to accomplish at this meeting is to recognize those farms and ranches withing the county that have been in existence for at least 100 years.

If you would like help with the application process, feel free to contact Tim Fine.
