HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) Thirty-one farms were
recently designated by the State
Department of Agriculture as offi
cial Pennsylvania Century Farms,
according to Secretary of Agricul
ture Boyd E. Wolff.
“We are pleased to honor these
farm owners for their dedication
and contributions to our agricultur
al heritage. The farm family is still
the backbone of our state and
nation, and we are firmly commit
ted to the preservation of our farm
land resources,” he said.
The Century Farms Program
was established to help publicize
the strengths and durability of Pen
nsylvania farm families and to
stress the importance of agricul
ture to all citizens of the Common
wealth. This brings to 1,545 the
number of farms recognized by the
department as Century Farms.
To qualify as a Pennsylvania
Century Farm, the farm must be
owned by the same family for 100
or more consecutive years and a
family member must currently live
on the farm. In addition, the farm
must contain at least 10 of the orig
inal acres or gross more than
$l,OOO annually from the sale of
farm products. Applications are
available from the Department of
