2008 AGRICULTURAL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES honored in a ceremony at the Florida FFA Leadership Training Center.

 The Florida FFA Hall of Fame began in 2007 to pay tribute to those outstanding individuals who have helped make the Florida FFA the premier youth leadership organization in the state. Because of the support of these individuals, Florida FFA has become home to more than 15,000 FFA members in more than 300 FFA Chapters across the state. FFA members are engaged in a wide range of agricultural education activities, leading to more than 300 professional career opportunities in the agricultural industry. 

On September 13 at the Leadership Training Center, Dr. Carl E. Beeman, Fred G. Garner, John L. Stephens, Glenn F. Wade, Jr. and Harry E. Wood were inducted into the Florida FFA Hall of Fame in a ceremony honoring them for their contributions to Florida State agriculture and the Florida FFA.
