Popular Indiana State Fair & Corteva Agriscience program to return
Mar. 23—INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana State Fair and Corteva Agriscience have unveiled the highly anticipated 2024 Featured Farmers that will be honored at this year's Indiana State Fair.
In its ninth 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 15 farm operations represent a variety of regions through the state, showcasing different agricultural products and stories throughout the 15-day State Fair, August 2 to 18 (closed Mondays).
"Our mission at the Indiana State Fair is rooted in agriculture and connecting our fairgoers to the farmers feeding the world. We are proud of our Featured Farmer program and excited to unveil our 2024 honorees," said Cindy Hoye, executive director, Indiana State Fair Commission. "These farmers have incredible stories to tell, and we are grateful to celebrate them with our partners at Corteva Agriscience."
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 family operation.

"The Indiana State Fair is the perfect place for fairgoers who are also consumers to meet Indiana farmers from across the state who dedicate their lives to feeding all of us. We are pleased to once again make this connection happen through the Featured Farmers program which is in its ninth year.
