Century farms to be honored A trio of area farms — one in Morrow County and two in Umatilla County — are being recognized as part of the Oregon Cen- tury Farm & Ranch Program. Properties receiving century status include the Brown Farm via applicant Chris E. Brown, which was founded in Morrow County in 1912 by Chris P. Brown. The Umatilla County farms include the Howard-Allstott Ranch, founded in 1884 by Wil- liam M. Howard. The applicants are Rich- ard and Dorothy How- ard Allstott. The other is the Rockwell-Doherty Ranch, founded in 1906 by Seth H. and Sarah Rockwell. The applicant is Richard Doherty of Brand X Ranch LLC. The Morrow and Uma- tilla county century farms are being recognized along with nine others from across the state and two sesquicentennial farms and ranches. The ceremony is Saturday, Aug. 25 at 11 a.m. in the Picnic Grove Area at the Oregon State Fair in Salem. The pub- lic is invited to the special event that celebrates Ore- gon’s agricultural heritage. The Oregon Century Farm & Century Ranch Program is a statewide rec- ognition program honoring farmers and ranchers who have worked the same land for at least 100 years. The program is administered through the Oregon Farm Bureau Foundation for Education and is partially funded through a partner- ship of the Oregon Farm Bureau, Wilco, Oregon State Historic Preserva- tion Office and the Oregon State University Librar- ies’ University Archives. Since the start of the pro- gram in 1958, registration has included 1,212 farms and ranches from across the state. The Sesquicen- tennial Award features farms that have existed for 150 years or more — the program has recognized 41 farms that have reached that mark. Oregon has one of the oldest agricultural heritage programs of this type in the entire nation. For more information about the century farms program, contact pro- gram coordinator Andréa Kuenzi at andrea@ore- gonfb.org, 503-400-7884 or visit www.centuryfarm. oregonfb.org.

It will emphasize the ways in which wheat plays a role in the lives of those living in the county, and around the world. “It is extremely grati- fying to have the ability to fund more of the amazing cultural projects happen- ing across our great state,” said Chuck Sams III, chair of the Cultural Trust board. “We are incredibly grateful to our donors and excited by the increased access this funding will provide to ensure active and culturally vibrant communities.” Created in 2001 by the Oregon Legislature, the Oregon Cultural Trust serves as an ongoing fund- ing engine for arts and culture across the state.
