Family of the Year

Nominate the Farm/Ranch Family of the Year

Farming is a family affair. Agriculture and community service need the teamwork and generational commitment of strong families. Rocky Mountain Farmers Union and Farmers Union Service Association appreciate the important contributions of each ranch and farm family member, and we honor a special family each year for their embodiment of Farmers Union values.

Regular membership in RMFU covers the entire family because everyone is an important part of our successes. RMFU honors the hard work, commitment and dedication shown by each of our family farmers and ranchers.
The Farm & Ranch Family of the Year Award recognizes outstanding agricultural production, agricultural and civic involvement, soil conservation and preservation, water and energy efficiency and innovation on the part of a family working together.

Rural families are the reason Rocky Mountain Farmers Union is so successful. Our members make the organization!
If you are a county officer or FUSA agent, please consider making a nomination for this year. You know better than anyone who the worthy families are in your community.
