As part of the Kansas Farm Bureau Century Farm Program, Dickinson County Farm Bureau Association presented a Century Farm Award to the descendants of Ernest and May Anderson and Cecil and Opal Kuhn on October 3, 2025. The original 80 acres were purchased by Ernest & May in September 1916 for $100 an acre. The couple’s daughter, Opal, was born on the farm in 1918. Only a concrete stave silo remains of the original buildings, and the land produces wheat, sorghum, soybeans, and bromegrass for hay. The farmland is located ½ mile north of Hope, Kansas.
