Moseley Farm Inducted Into State’s Century Farm Program

LITTLE ROCK – The David and Dana Moseley Farm near New Edinburg was officially inducted into the Arkansas Century Farm Program this month, joining a distinguished group of families recognized for their enduring contribution to the state’s agricultural history.The induction ceremony took place on Dec. 2 in the second floor rotunda of the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock. The Moseley family was honored for their farm’s long-standing legacy, which was established in 1856 - just 20 years after Arkansas became a state.Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Secretary of Agriculture Wes Ward presided over the ceremony, presenting the family with an official Arkansas Century Farm metal sign and certificate to mark the achievement.“Being part of the Arkansas Century Farm program means much more than receiving a sign,” program officials noted in the induction announcement. The designation is designed to honor the “deep family ties and important historical relevance of agriculture in the Natural State”.The Arkansas Century Farm Program, established in 2012 by the Arkansas Department of Agriculture, exists to recognize families who have owned and farmed the same land for at least 100 years. The program is voluntary and places no restrictions on the land, serving solely as a way to celebrate the dedication of farm families.This year, the Moseley farm was one of 42 farms from 35 different  counties added to the program, bringing the total number of Arkansas Century Farms to 687.The David and Dana Moseley Farm, now recognized for 169 years of continuous family ownership, stands as a testament to the resilience and hard work that defines Arkansas agriculture.For information on how to apply for the program, go to the agriculture.arkansas.gov website....
