Free signs for Tennessee century farms
Effective upon becoming law, the Tennessee Century Farms Act creates recognition for farms operating continuously for more than 100 years. Farms must include at least 10 acres of the founder’s original farm and earn at least $1,000 in yearly revenue. They must remain in the founder’s family for at least 100 years, with at least one owner living in Tennessee. Qualifying owners get a free commemorative sign. The agriculture commissioner can provide additional signs for each further 50 years of qualifying operation. Owners can also buy extra signs at a price the commissioner sets. The commissioner sets qualification criteria and runs the program using existing department resources. A designated historic preservation center administers the program, maintains a farm database, shares information, and educates the public. The center works with the agriculture department and Tennessee Historical Commission; the commissioner can involve both in designing signs.
