JUANITA JAMES
AARP delegate
For heritage program
Family land owners
asked to register
AUSTIN-“This year is go-
ing to be round-up year in
Polk County for the Texas
Family Land Heritage Pro-
gram,” Agriculture Com-
missioner Reagan V. Brown
announced as the 1980
registration period opened
this month.
“We hope that everyone
involved in history and
agriculture will help us
register all families who
have held on to their farms
and ranches for 100 years or
more,” Brown said.
The Texas Department of
Agriculture is entering its
seventh year in sponsoring
the program to honor those
who have maintained con-
tinuous agricultural produc-
tion on the same land for at
least a century. The
registration period will ex-
tend from May 15 to August
15.
So far, there have been
1,294 Texas families who
have qualified, 12 from Polk
County.
Those who qualify are
honored in state ceremonies
and receive a certificate and
a copy of the Family Land
Heritage Registry, in which
are printed old photographs
of the family and homes as
well as a brief history of the
land.
“We have had excellent
cooperation from county
historical commission
chairpersons and from coun-
ty judges who have helped to
locate people in their areas
who might qualify,” Brown
said.
“The Registry has become
a very popular publication
because it contains unique
histories and remembrances
of families who are the foun-
dation of Texas
agriculture,” Brown said.
“Genealogists and resear-
chers in other fields have
found this information very
beneficial."
Basic requirements in-
clude the following: Con-
tinous agricultural produc-
tion on the land for 100 years,
ownership of the land re-
maining in the family, com-
plete operation or supervi-
sion of the farm or ranch
production by family
members, and a size of at
least 10 acres with a
minimum of $250 income
from farm or ranch pro-
ducts. If all of the land has
every been rented out, the
property is ineligible.
Timber and recreational
leases do not qualify. The
Texas' Department of
Agriculture is the final judge
of eligibility.
Persons who meet the
basic qualifications and wish
to enter the program can ob-
tain an application from the
county judge, _county
historical commission
chairperson, the nearest
Texas Department of
Agriculture district office, or
they may write the Depart-
ment, P.O. Box 12847,
Austin, Texas 78711.
