The 2025 inductees of the Shortline Legends Hall of Fame were recognized — in front of their peers — on Oct. 30 during a presentation at the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Assn.’s Marketing & Distribution Convention in Las Vegas.
The third class of inductees – 6 in total – each made a permanent dent in the ag equipment universe. Their Hall of Fame induction ensures their legacies will live on for generations to come. And for the first time in the award’s history, representatives from every one of the Hall of Famers were present to accept this high honor — and in front of the leader’s peers. This year’s inductees includes Tom Burenga, John M. Tye III, Norbert Beaujot, Stan McFarlane, Henry Danuser and Lyle Yost.
In 2023, as Farm Equipment magazine turned 55 years old, the editors announced the Shortline Legends Hall of Fame — a program that would forever give proper due to the achievements and influence of individuals from the INDEPENDENT ag equipment manufacturers — before their achievements are lost to the ages.
