 <description>&lt;p&gt;Minnesota families who have owned their farms for 100 years can apply for the Minnesota State Fair&#039;s 2008 Century Farm program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Century Farm program recognizes family farms according to three qualifications. The farm must be: 1) at least 100 years old according to authentic land records; 2) in continuous family ownership for at least 100 years (continuous residence on the farm is not required); and 3) at least 50 acres. Since its inception in 1976, a total of 8,694 Minnesota farms have been designated Century Farms. &lt;/p&gt;
