A selection committee consisting of FFA members, alumni, agricultural educators and foundation representatives selected the final inductees.
“We were looking for individuals who have been influential and supportive of Minnesota FFA and who have demonstrated a high level of service and longstanding commitment to agriculture, agribusiness, and/or education in agriculture,” said Steve Olson, co-chair of Minnesota FFA Hall of Fame Committee, in the news release announcing the inductees.
The 2022 Hall of Fame Inductees will be recognized at the Minnesota FFA State Convention during the opening general session April 24 at Mariucci Arena on the University of Minnesota - East Bank campus.
