Happy Easter!
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
As we celebrate the Easter season, I want to take a moment to wish you and your family a joyful and peaceful Easter and a reflective Good Friday. May this time bring renewal, hope, and quality time with loved ones.
This week, I also want to share some special recognition for families in our community who are being honored for their long-standing contributions to Minnesota agriculture.
Thank you to the Minnesota Farm Bureau for your continued leadership and advocacy for farmers across the state. Your work is vital to sustaining and strengthening the agricultural backbone of Minnesota.
It is my pleasure to recognize this year’s Century and Sesquicentennial Farm Award recipients from our district - families who have maintained family ownership of their farms for over 100 and 150 years. What a remarkable legacy!
Sesquicentennial Farm Recipients
• Robyn and David Pharr, Le Sueur, MN
• Henry and Judy Becker – Becker Farms, Sibley, MN
Century Farm Recipients
• Orlin Kurtzweg, Arlington, MN
• Kenneth and Troy Schmidt – Grandpa Schmidt's Farm, Arlington, MN
These families are a shining example of perseverance, stewardship, and deep commitment to our rural way of life. Thank you for all you do to keep Minnesota’s agricultural heritage alive and thriving.
Wishing you all a safe and blessed Easter weekend.
Warmly,
Rep. Bobbie Harder
Minnesota House of Representatives | District 17B
