People who have made outstanding contributions to Florida agriculture are inducted annually into the Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame.
The Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame, a nonprofit organization devoted to preserving the history of Florida agriculture, was created in 1980. Men and women who have made outstanding contributions to Florida agriculture are inducted annually during a ceremony held each February at the Florida State Fair in Tampa.
Previous inductees have come from all walks of life and have included agricultural teachers, researchers, farmers, ranchers and public servants. Their lives and achievements are commemorated in a display on permanent exhibit in the Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame Foundation building at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.
Anyone can submit a nomination on behalf of a candidate for the Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame. Nomination forms can be downloaded from the Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame website. Nomination forms must be completed as specified in the instructions.
