WAUSEON, Ohio — The Fulton County Agriculture Hall of Fame is now accepting nominations for its 2026 class of inductees. Since its establishment in 1983, the Hall of Fame has honored more than 160 individuals whose outstanding contributions have helped shape Fulton County’s rich agricultural heritage.
This prestigious recognition is the highest honor given to individuals in Fulton County’s agricultural industry. Nominees should have made significant and lasting contributions to agriculture in Ohio — ideally with 25 or more years of service. Eligible individuals include:
—Farmers or breeders who have made major contributions to the land and its products.
—Professionals in agriculture-related activities or agribusinesses who have demonstrated exceptional service and impact.
The 2026 inductees will be honored at a special awards dinner in August, with past recipients also invited to attend. Biographies of previous inductees can be viewed at go.osu.edu/fultoncountyhofwinners.
Nomination forms are available online at go.osu.edu/fultonhof or at the OSU Extension office in Fulton County, located at 8770 State Route 108, Suite A, Wauseon.
To be considered for nomination this year, forms must be received by Friday, July 10, either by mail or email to Newcomb.84@osu.edu.
