STATEHOUSE (Aug. 23, 2021) – The Chamberlain Farm in Wabash County recently received a Hoosier Homestead Centennial Award for being in operation since 1920, according to State Rep. Craig Snow (R-Warsaw) and State Sen. Andy Zay (R-Huntington).
"Agriculture is deeply embedded in the legacy of our state and continues to be a major player in Indiana's economy," Snow said. "The Chamberlain Farm is a great example of the dedication farmers across our state exhibit every day and I congratulate them on their outstanding accomplishment."
The Chamberlain Farm was among 73 farms recognized at the Indiana State Fair for their commitment to Indiana agriculture.
"Agriculture remains a major player in Indiana's economy," Zay said. "Leading the way are farms like the Chamberlain's, who have been here for generations. I applaud their devotion to agriculture and wish them continued success for years to come."
The Hoosier Homestead Award Program recognizes farms owned and maintained by the same family for 100 years or more. Families can qualify for centennial, sesquicentennial or bicentennial awards.
Each year, two awards ceremonies are held in the spring and summer commemorating the achievements of farm families across the state. For more information on the Hoosier Homestead Award Program, visit in.gov/isda.
