At Prairie Farmer, we love visiting farms and farmers across the state. Often, behind many farmers is a loyal and furry four-legged companion, greeting us with a smile and wagging tail. To recognize the special role that “man’s best friend” plays on the farm, we created the Prairie Farmer Favorite Farm Dog Contest.

The contest began in 2000 and has continued to celebrate winning dogs ever since — like Koda in 2023, Bahia in 2022, Ace in 2021 and Bailey in 2020. So, for 2024, send us your farm dogs!

Winners will be selected through a combination of online voting and staff selection, based on the dog’s utility, companionship, work ethic and value as a family member. Entries will close March 22 at 11:59 p.m.
