Established in 1991, the Governor’s Agricultural Hall of Fame honors leaders in the agricultural industry who exemplify high standards of achievements and commitment to the industry. Nominations are accepted through County Extension offices through an application process in the late summer/early fall. The Maryland Department of Agriculture organizes this program and winners are announced at the annual Taste of Maryland Agriculture.
