Time to Nominate Master Farm/Ranch Families

Submitted by Daryl Buchholz

Kansas Master Farm Families for 2022 will be honored at a banquet in Manhattan on March 24, 2023. Seeing those six families from across Kansas being honored with family, extension agents and friends attending together with alumni of the Master Farmer/Master Farm Homemaker classes of years past will be a joy beyond description.

I know you have many more successful farm/ranch families who are great local community leaders. Begin the process now to identify a family who should be recognized from your extension district or county as a member of the 2023 honorees! We are calling for nominations to be submitted by May 1, 2023. This timeline was changed last year from our past calendar for nominations in November.

You should have received a mailing to each local office from Dr. Hadley regarding this change in nominations deadline and the packet of information on the nomination process. The nomination process and the on-line application can be found at https://tinyurl.com/Ksmff.

Don’t miss this chance to recognize and honor your local farm/ranch families who have that long record of being great farmers/ranchers, extension supporters, and a positive influence within your community and beyond. No better way to demonstrate the value of extension, and in many cases, 4-H leadership locally. Nominations are due May 1, 2023!
