This year the Mercer County Farm Bureau Federation teamed up with Mercer County Extension Office to create a Historic Farms Recognition Program. We recently celebrated Three Lane Farm (Burks-Smith-Robinson-Holiday Farm) at our annual meeting as a sesquicentennial farm. This farm has been in the same family since well before 1876. Currently this farm still produces hay, cattle, soybeans, and corn.
