Frontier Farm Credit selected as 2023 Extension Appreciation Award winner

for the Frontier Extension District

At the Extension Appreciation Award dinner on Nov. 29, Frontier Farm Credit received the 2023 Frontier District, K-State Research and Extension Appreciation Award for its outstanding contributions to extension programs in the District. Frontier Farm Credit has been a dedicated, consistent supporter of the Frontier District in a variety of ways throughout the years. It has provided the meal for the annual farm management meetings that are held each spring, and it has sponsored a variety of agricultural and natural resources programs by providing meals, resources and support. In February 2023, the organization helped sponsor the Farm Transition and Succession Planning Conference, and in spring 2023 the organization provided a $4,000 grant for the first ever Frontier District 4-H Camp Livestock held at Camp Chippewa. Frontier Farm Credit also sponsors the 4-H Key Award in all three counties—Anderson, Franklin and Osage—and supports 4-H programs by providing a meal during the fairs for all 4-H families.
