The Upper Ohio Conservation District is pleased to announce that the West Virginia Association of Conservation Districts is continuing the West Virginia Century Farm Program. The UOCD is seeking to recognize families who have been farming the same tract of land for at least 100 years. The farm must have been in continuous operation by the same family and a family member must live on the farm or be an integral part of the day-to-day operation of the farm enterprise. Line of ownership from the first family member owning the land may be through wives, husbands, children, brothers, nephews, or nieces. The farm must also consist of at least 10 acres of the original holdings and gross more than $1,000 annually from farm products. For recognition, applications must be received by the UOCD no later than April 1, 2017. Signs will be awarded to the Century Farm families selected by the UOCD. For an application form, please contact the Upper Ohio Conservation District at 304-6758-2512 or stop by our office located at 201 Underwood Street, Middlebourne, WV 26149. Forms are also attached.
