100 yr centennial farm
The Wyoming Centennial Farm & Ranch program annually honors families who have owned and operated the same farm or ranch for 100 years or more.
Why are Centennial farms and ranches so important?
Wyoming’s ranch and farm lands are disappearing at an alarming rate. Farmers and ranchers have withstood development pressure, drought, and mining threats and yet they have managed to preserve these important pieces of Wyoming’s rural heritage. Agriculture produces more than just food; it also maintains open spaces, contributes to the state’s economy, and supports family businesses. These farms and ranches remain vital today and highlight the importance of agriculture to Wyoming.
