In December 1984, the AU Agricultural Alumni Association approved a resolution to establish the Alabama Agriculture Hall of Honor with a sole purpose to bestow honor and recognition upon living Alabamians who have made significant contributions to the state's agricultural industry.

The initial inductees consisted of three members, with not more than three new members to be added each year.  In later years, the selection process evolved to identify individuals from three primary sectors of the industry--agribusiness, production, and education/government.

In May 1995, the Agricultural Pioneer Award was established to posthumously recognize individuals whose lives and work impacted the industry.

Each year, in conjunction with the Association's annual meeting, a banquet is held to honor that year's recipients and their families.  Biographical plaques of the Hall of Honor recipients are placed on the first-floor walls of Comer Hall.  A plaque for the Pioneer Award is also located in this area with a brass plate listing each year's recipients.
