Founding Farms Pass Test of Time, Build 200 Years of Missouri Tradition
Garrett Hawkins
Missouri Farm Bureau
Missouri has seen a lot of changes in its first 200 years. Since gaining statehood on August 10, 1821, we have survived countless floods, droughts, a Civil War, two World Wars and many other tragedies. We have also seen tremendous innovation, economic development and population growth.
Amidst all of this change, though, a select few Missouri families have quietly worked the land generation after generation. To celebrate Missouri’s bicentennial, Missouri Farm Bureau partnered with University of Missouri Extension and the University of Missouri’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources to identify farms that have been in continuous operation within one family since before Missouri’s statehood.
