Bulloch County farmer Clarence Prince was a bit surprised last week when, during a breakfast kicking off Farm City Week, he and his son Morris were named the 2011 Farm Family of the Year. Sponsored by Farm Bureau and the Statesboro-Bulloch County Chamber of Commerce Agribusiness committee, the annual honor recognizes a Bulloch County family with a rich agricultural history who is an “outstanding part of community programs, civic service and has an outstanding farm operation,” said Brooke Marshall, agribusiness committee member. Prince has farmed in the Middleground community since 1959, but before that, his grandfather grew row crops and livestock.
