Behind every American farm family is the backbone of the operation: The American Farm Mom. Now’s your chance to honor her contributions with the opportunity to win $7,500.

Tell us in 300 words or fewer how the farm mom you are nominating contributes to her family, farm, community and agriculture. Ready to nominate your mom? Tell us her story by May 8, 2011. Five regional winners will be announced in mid-May. An online vote will determine the national winner, which will be announced on May 27, 2011.

Prizes: American Agri-Women will select the five regional winners. Each winner will receive a $5,000 prize. The national winner will receive an additional $2,500. To learn more about the regions, view our official contest rules and regulations.

Entries will be judged based on:
Supporting her Family — What makes this mom really special to her family? What attributes are especially appreciated above and beyond all the daily tasks and responsibilities moms perform?

Supporting her Farm — Whether it’s keeping the books or driving a combine, how does the mom play an important role in the success of the family farm?
