County Farm Families Selected

County farm families for the 72nd annual Arkansas Farm Family of the Year Program have been selected.

The Howard County winner is The Greene Family of the Umpire/Athens area. Louise Morris of the Mine Creek Conservation District office says Greg Greene was selected as the Farm Family several years ago. His sons Marcus and Mason have since built poultry houses and have cattle.

The Hempstead County winner is Donald and B.J. Hampton of Hope.

The county winners will be visited by a set of judges to determine the eight district winners, who will be announced June 17. They will be visited again by a different set of judges in July to determine a state winner, who will be announced Dec. 12 at the Farm Family of the Year luncheon in North Little Rock.
