  • Tammie Calder

The Koochiching County Extension Committee is requesting nominations for the 2015 Koochiching County Farm Family of the Year, sponsored by University of Minnesota Extension.

The Farm Family Recognition Program has existed for over two decades and honors farm families from throughout Minnesota for their contributions to the agriculture industry and their local communities. All of the honored farm families have made significant contributions to Minnesota agriculture and their communities.

The criteria for nominations of an individual or family are:

  • Be a Koochiching County food producer actively involved in agricultural production with one or more agricultural enterprises. Agricultural production areas for consideration include animal, crops, potato, vegetable, fruits, berries, aquaculture, agroforestry, and renewable energy supplies, have made significant short-term progress and/or innovative contributions with their agricultural endeavors or developed an innovative method for a particular environmental problem, adopted a rotational grazing system, added alternative or value-added crops.
  • Have demonstrated a commitment to enhancing and supporting the fields of agriculture and production, have some involvement in their communities and/or related organizations and not have been previously recognized by the Farm Family Program.

To submit a nomination for the Koochiching County Farm Family of the Year, contact Jody Reller at 218-875-2852 or visit the Koochiching County website at http://www3.extension.umn.edu/county/koochiching to complete the nomination form and submit by April 15.
