JEFFERSON CITY – Missouri Farm Bureau (MOFB) will recognize 111 Farm Families on Monday, August 11, as part of the 2025 Farm Family Day celebration at the Missouri State Fair.
For 65 years, Farm Family Day has recognized Missouri’s Farm Families and the role they play in the state’s economy. Every Missouri county is permitted to nominate one family to represent their area based on farming operations, community involvement, participation in or affiliation with 4-H, and their steadfast commitment to upholding the values inherent to the promotion and sustainment of agriculture.
MOFB partners with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, the Missouri State Fair and State Fair Commissioners, MU Extension and Engagement, and the University of Missouri College of Agriculture Food and Natural Resources to put on this annual event.
The families honored represent all the varied farming operations that make up the state, from row crops and cattle, pork and chicken operations, to organic farms, nut and fruit orchard operations, agritourism and intercity urban gardening operations.
