73 Indiana farms receive historic homestead award

0

Today, at the Indiana State Fair, Lt. Gov Suzanne Crouch and Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler presented 73 family farms with a Hoosier Homestead Award, recognizing their family’s longstanding commitment to Indiana agriculture.

To be named a Hoosier Homestead, farms must be owned by the same family for more than 100 consecutive years, and consist of 20 acres or more, or produce more than $1,000 in agricultural products per year.

“Agriculture has always been and continues to be a vital and thriving industry in our state,” Crouch said. “I always look forward to honoring these Hoosier Homestead Award recipients on their family’s commitment to their farm, community and heritage.”

Families are eligible for three different distinctions of the Hoosier Homestead Award, based on the age of the farm. They can receive the Centennial Award for 100 years, Sesquicentennial Award for 150 years or Bicentennial Award for 200 years of ownership.

Since the program’s inception in 1976, nearly 6000 families have received the award. Often, a Hoosier Homestead farm is easily recognized because most recipients proudly display their awarded sign on their property.

“Each of these Hoosier Homestead farms have such a unique and important story behind them,” Kettler said. “Managing and operating a farm is no simple task, and I commend each of the families that receive this award for their dedication and devotion to agriculture.”

The following list includes the August 2021 Hoosier Homestead Award recipients.

0

Scott County Sheriff Jerry Goodin announced today that the Scott County Jail has graduated two more inmates with a high school diploma equivalency or otherwise known as “GED”. 

Jenny Stamper, (left of the sheriff) and Amber Napier, (right of the sheriff), are pictured below with Sheriff Goodin.

Three other inmates graduated from the Jail Chemical Addiction Program (JCAP) being offered at the Scott County Jail.

They are pictured below from left to right, Gabrielle Little, Felicia King, Sheriff Goodin and Autumn Campbell.

These three ladies completed a six-week addiction course in the jail paid for by the State Attorney General’s Office.

Sheriff Goodin stated, “not only are we arresting people, but we are also giving them the opportunity to succeed in life once they exit the jail”.  Since Sheriff Goodin took office the Scott County Jail has been providing education and job training to inmates while they are incarcerated. These programs are being paid for by grants and other non-taxpayer funding.

Sheriff Goodin also stated, “he was extremely proud of the inmates taking advantage of the offered programs to change their lives”.

High Friction Surface Treatment Scheduled for S.R. 37 Near Paoli

0

The Indiana Department of Transportation announces lane restrictions for State Road 37 near Paoli for a pavement project.

Beginning on or around Monday, Aug. 23, contractors will close one lane of S.R. 37 just north of County Road 930 South to perform the operation. Workers will be applying a high friction pavement treatment at this location.

High friction pavement treatments are used to help motorists increase stopping distance and provide more traction in areas where applied.

Work is expected to last until mid-September depending upon weather conditions and will take place primarily in the evening and overnight hours.

INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
