The Farm Equipment Shortline Legends Hall of Fame recognizes the achievements of individuals who advanced the innovations and success in shortline/independent equipment innovations.

This program, along with other Farm Equipment award programs (Farm Equipment Dealer Hall of Fame, Dealership of the Year, Most Valuable Precision Dealer, etc.), accomplishes three important goals. First is to point out the benchmark-worthy operations from which the entire industry can learn. Second is to remind all, and especially the newcomers, of what is possible in a mature industry, despite the often daunting challenges. And third, to remember the shoulders on whom we all stand today.
