The 10 Kansas Farm Family of the Year Awards (one per Kansas Farm Bureau district) will be presented at the Kansas Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in Manhattan, Kan. Honorees will receive special recognition, a commemorative gift and an invite for immediate family to the recognition banquet.
The purpose of the award is to recognize outstanding Farm Bureau families who have distinguished themselves through participation in Farm Bureau programs and leadership, family activities, community and civic service, as well as displaying good farm operation management.
The award is an opportunity to recognize 105 farm families (single or extended) at the county level and 10 (one per Kansas Farm Bureau district) farm families (single or extended) at the state level. Applicants must be actively participating in production agriculture and selected by the county Farm Bureau. Current Farm Bureau board members, their families and Farm Bureau staff members are not eligible.
Each county Farm Bureau is encouraged to annually select a deserving family and honor them at the county annual meeting or similar event. Each county Farm Bureau may submit their winning family application for one of the 10 Kansas Farm Family of the Year awards to Kansas Farm Bureau.
Each county will receive an attractive Farm Family of the
Year yard sign to be presented to the winning family at the county
annual meeting. Counties may also choose to give other recognition items
at their discretion.
