Kevin and Teresa Hostetler, along with Kenyon and Josie Hostetler of K&K Farms, were recently selected as the Carroll County Farm Family of the Year by Arkansas Farm Bureau.

Selection as Arkansas Farm Family of the Year is based on efficiency of production, conservation of energy and resources, leadership in agricultural and community affairs, home and farm improvement and home and farm management.

Next month, the Hostetlers, along with the winners from each Arkansas county, will be visited by a set of judges to determine the eight district winners, who will be announced June14. District winners will be visited again by a different set of judges in July to determine a state winner, which will be announced in December at the Farm Family of the Year luncheon.

The Arkansas Farm Family of the Year will then go on to represent the state at the Swisher Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year.
