“Our family is committed to farming because we know what it means to our family, this community and families who take seats at the dinner table across the world every day”, Murry Henderson said in the release. “To be chosen to represent our state as the Farm Family of the Year is an honor we will forever cherish. We’re grateful for the opportunity and are proud to represent the state’s agriculture industry in this way”.
