June 10, 2022, INDIANAPOLIS, IN — The Indiana State Fair and Corteva Agriscience are proud to unveil the highly
anticipated 2022 Featured Farmers that will be honored at this year’s Indiana State Fair. In its seventh year, this
program celebrates and helps put a face on Hoosier agriculture by connecting consumers with fellow Hoosiers who
grow the food they eat. These 18 farm operations represent all regions of the state, showcasing different agricultural
products throughout the 18-day State Fair, July 29-August 21.
“Our Featured Farmers program connects fairgoers to Hoosier farmers daily during the State Fair with opportunities to
learn more about where their food comes from,” said Cindy Hoye, executive director, Indiana State Fair Commission.
“These farmers have incredible stories to tell, and we are proud to honor and celebrate them.”
Visitors to the Indiana State Fair can attend a live chat at 2:30 p.m. in the Glass Barn with a Featured Farmer every day of
the Fair, in addition to many other opportunities to talk with that day’s Featured Farm family and learn about their
operation. To learn more about the farmers, visit IndianaStateFair.com.
