Congratulations to Tom Turpin who was recognized today as a Honorary Master Farmer at the 2008 Master Farmer Awards Presentation hosted by Indiana Prairie Farmer and Purdue University. Four Indiana farmers were recognized as Master Farmers at the event held at the Beck’s Ag Center.

The Master Farmer Award was first granted in 1928 and is given in recognition of a combination of farming skills, community activities and public service. The Master Farmer award is the highest honor a farmer can receive in Indiana.
