Farm Bureau Accepting Applications for Farm Dog of the Year

Missouri Farm Bureau (MOFB) is accepting applications for the 2026 Farm Dog of the Year contest, supported by Diamond Pet Foods. For the fourth straight year, MOFB is proud to celebrate farm dogs and the many ways they support farmers and ranchers in producing nutritious food for families and their pets across Missouri.
The grand-prize winner – the MOFB Farm Dog of the Year – will win a one-year supply of Diamond dog food and will be recognized at the MOFB Annual Meeting in December 2025.
Desired attributes for the Farm Dog of the Year include helpfulness to the farmer and his or her family, playfulness and obedience.
Eligibility guidelines and submission requirements are available at mofb.org/farmdog. Farm Dog of the Year nominations, which include written responses to questions, at least one photo and an optional video clip, must be received by September 30, 2025, for consideration.
Farm dog owners must be MOFB members to enter their dogs in the competition. Prospective applicants who are not members can visit mofb.org/join to learn about becoming a member.
