The Historic Commemoration Committee of ASABE (M-170), in cooperation with local sections, has been selecting and recognizing historic developments in agricultural engineering in the United States for some 75 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.
