Dawson Family Receives Missouri Century Farm Recognition
Bloomfield, Missouri - The Stoddard County University of Missouri Extension Council awards the Bruce Dawson family the Missouri Century Farm designation.

The Missouri Century Farm is awarded to those families who have continuously owned a Missouri farm for 100 years. 

To qualify, farms must meet the following guidelines: The same family must have owned the farm for 100 consecutive years.  The line of ownership from the original settler or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nephews or nieces, including through marriage or adoption.  The farm must be at least 40 acres of the original land acquisition and make a financial contribution to the overall farm income.

The award is in cooperation with University of Missouri and Missouri Farm Bureau.

Since Missouri began the program in 1976, more than 8,000 Century Farms have been recognized.

John Davis, Author of Around the Corner to Speak

Bloomfield, Missouri - The Stars & Stripes Museum will present author John Davis on Monday, August 27th at 6:30 p.m.

Featuring his new book, "Around the Corner".  It is from a perspective of a past counter-intelligence officer and linguist of the U.S. Army.  John's collection of stories invites readers to open their hearts and minds to a world often unseen, unknown, forgotten, or disregarded.

In his new book, John skillfully guides the audience around corners, and challenges us to think about the many important issues affecting our lives today. Some are formidable and stirring, but he offers hope to those traveling with him.

"What is around the corner cannot be ignored. For if we don’t turn the corner, acknowledge what is there, and try to learn from it, the consequences of slinking away will only come around to us."
