The Minnesota FFA Alumni Association proudly announces the Minnesota FFA Hall of Fame Class of 2024. These six inductees will join the 240 members previously inducted into the Minnesota FFA Hall of Fame, including the 75 inaugural members in 2004. The FFA Hall of Fame is a collaborative effort between the Minnesota FFA Association, Alumni, and Foundation.

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.

Inductees will be introduced on Saturday, March 2nd at the Minnesota FFA Alumni and Supporters Annual Conference being held at South Central College in North Mankato. You can still register to attend the conference, please go to https://www.mnffaalumni.org/events/ for more information.

An induction ceremony will be held on Sunday, April 21, 2024, at the 1st General Session during the State FFA Convention. The 2024 Hall of Fame Class will be featured on the Minnesota FFA Alumni Association website as well as the state FFA convention newsletter to be distributed shortly after the convention.
