Details about Honor, Selection Process Since 1963, the Greene County Extension Council and Greene

County Farm Bureau have worked together to select a farm fami-

ly to represent the county at the Missouri State Fair.

The honored families enjoy a fun-filled day at the fair fol-

lowed by a recognition dinner sponsored by Missouri Farm Bu-

reau. The local extension council provides a $50 stipend intended

to cover the cost of fair admission and offset some travel costs.

This next Farm Family Day will be celebrated on Monday,

August 12, 2013 at the Missouri State Fair. This recognition

event is jointly sponsored by Missouri Farm Bureau, Missouri

Department of Agriculture, Missouri State Fair, University of

Missouri Extension, and the University of Missouri College of

Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.

“The Farm Family Day program is intended to honor the con-

tributions of an individual farm family from each county in the

state.,” said David Burton, country program director for Greene

County Extension.
