Five Pulaski County farms were recently recognized for their longevity. The Indiana State Department of Agriculture recently recognized this year’s Hoosier Homestead Award recipients. Locally, the Bruce and Malchow farms each received the sesquicentennial award, while the Mitchell, Ploss/Lanz, and Yaggie farms were presented with the centennial award.
To qualify as a Hoosier Homestead, a farm must be kept within the same family for at least 100 years and consist of more than 20 acres or produce more than $1,000 worth of agricultural products per year. More than 5,800 farm families have been recognized since the program began in 1976.
