The Minnesota Farm Bureau is recognizing 47 recipients of the Sesquicentennial Farm award for 2019.

A commemorative certificate signed by Gov. Tim Walz, Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Thom Petersen and Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation President Kevin Paap will be awarded to qualifying families, along with an outdoor sign signifying Sesquicentennial Farm recognition.

In Mower County, the Gerald Smith and Sons farm in the Adams area, established in 1869, is among those honored.

Information on all Sesquicentennial Farm families will be available online at www.fbmn.org.
