In 2023, we announced a new recognition program to chronicle North America’s finest dealer professionals. With each passing year, more leaders leave us (including one shortly after his selection this year in Ray Koenig), and the Farm Equipment team agreed it was time to document the stories of our industry’s “greats” — before they were relegated merely to oral history, lore and tribal knowledge.
Thus, the Farm Equipment Dealer Hall of Fame (HOF) has the following mission … To honor the dealer heroes of our farm equipment industry … Promote integrity, innovation and independence … Celebrate excellence and achievement … Ensure that the industry’s present and future connects to the past.
