The annual Hardin County Agriculture Hall of Fame Banquet previously scheduled for Dec. 1, is cancelled due to the inability to safely gather large groups as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. 

The local Ag Hall of Fame committee decided that recognizing individuals this year through an alternative method such as a virtual event would not provide proper recognition for those who are typically recognized with family, friends, and the agricultural community present. 

Therefore, the planning committee has decided to postpone any activity with this event until further notice.
