The Historic Commemoration Committee of ASABE (M-170), in cooperation with local sections, has been selecting and recognizing historic developments in agricultural and biological engineering in the United States for more than 90 years. The first recognition of Ives Hall on the Ohio State University campus-took place in 1926. The most significant events in agricultural and biological engineering are continually being identified and commemorated. 

Have an Idea for an ASABE Historic Landmark?
ASABE's Historic Commemoration Committee (M-170), in cooperation with geographic units of ASABE, has been selecting and recognizing historic developments in agricultural and biological engineering in the United States for since 1926. In that time the Society has established 59 landmarks.

Do you know of a significant technological development that is deserving of ASABE recognition? Are you interested in submitting a proposal? Nominations for historic commemoration may be initiated by individuals or ASABE geographic units, communities, or national committees. Endorsement by an ASABE geographic unit in the vicinity of potential plaque location(s) is required and commits the endorser to helping with site selection and dedication planning, as well as to providing some financial support of the endeavor. If you have questions regarding a nomination or developing one, feel free to contact Bob Gustafson.
