Six Indiana farmers were given the title of "Master Farmer" at a banquet held June 20 in Plymouth. Indiana Prairie Farmer and Purdue University Extension hosted the event, which served as a nice bridge between days one and two of Purdue's 2012 Farm Management Tour. In a somewhat unique nomination, three brothers who farm together were added to the impressive list of Master Farmers:
Kerry, Kim and Kent Ames from 4-K Farms in Fillmore, Ind. were each named. Bill Schroeder (Reynolds), Ed Carmichael (Sullivan) and Gene Schmidt (Hanna) were also bestowed the title of Master Farmer at the recognition banquet, after which they all shared their secrets to success in a panel discussion with Purdue ag economist Chris Hurt (pictured above). All of the new Master Farmers have been or are currently involved in Farm Bureau, and we applaud them for being recognized as the best of the best in the Hoosier farming community.
