More Than 300 Families to be Honoured with a Century Family Farm Award

REGINA, May 27, 2014 /CNW/ - Information Services Corporation ("ISC") will honour 308 Saskatchewan farm families this spring with a Century Family Farm Award. The award recognizes families who have continuously maintained the same farm or ranch operation for 100 years or more.

By the time this year's program wraps up, ISC will have awarded over 3,600 farm families since 2007.

"By sponsoring and managing this annual program, we celebrate the traditions and heritage that have shaped our province," Stusek said.
