HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Farm Focus Family Award began in 1985 as part of National Farm City Week. There have now been over 100 families in Reno County that have been recognized for their contributions to Reno County Agriculture. This year’s Farm Focus Family Award goes to the Headings family.
Nestled near Hutchinson, Kansas, Randy and Marie Headings proudly operate their fourth-generation family farm, with the invaluable support of their son, Ben. Together, they cultivate a diverse array of crops, including wheat, sorghum, and soybeans, while also raising beef cattle and producing alfalfa for both feeding and selling.
The family’s agricultural legacy continues with their daughter Kendra, who, along with her husband Camron, is raising two daughters, Nora (7) and Naomi (5), ensuring that the values of hard work and dedication to farming are passed down through generations.
In addition to their core operations, Randy has historically produced straw for local businesses, further contributing to the community. Headings Farms is a testament to family values, sustainable agriculture, and a commitment to the future of farming.
