Submit your nominations for the Shortline Legends Hall of Fame Class of 2024

Who should be inducted in 2024?

In early 2023, Farm Equipment announced a program that would properly record — for posterity — the individuals whose innovations impacted the machinery and dealer distribution industry in North America over the last 55 years, and in September celebrated the first-ever class of the only award program in existence devoted to shortline manufacturers, Farm Equipment's Shortline Legends.

We have begun planning for the Shortline Legends Class of 2024, and want to know who you think should be recognized for their achievements and success in the shortline/independent equipment innovations. Simply complete this short nomination form to submit your nominee for consideration. Deadline to submit your nomination(s) is April 30.

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