KNOXVILLE, Md. The
Leon Enfield family was recently
inducted into the Maryland Agri
culture Hall of Fame. The honor
was a fitting tribute to Enfield, his
wife Shirley, and their children,
who have devoted much effort to
promoting and enriching Mary
land’s agricultural community.
The award has been given to two
or three farm families every year
since the program was imple
mented in 1991 by then Gov. Wil
liam Donald Schaefer. Presenta

culture dinner, held the first
Thursday in February. The Ag

tor was geared for up to 40 miles per hour and featured
everything that a car had at the time. This most sought after
collector’s tractor was bought in Wyoming from the original
owner named Yoder, who was 92 years-old at the time. It is

“The family is active in every
aspect of agriculture, and has pro
vided leadership and support not
only to their community, but at the
regional and state levels as well,”
said Laurie Adelhardt, assistant to
the Maryland secretary of
agriculture.
Much of the Enfields’ activity
has centered on Farm Bureau

levels. Leon and Shirley have
devoted 39 years of service to

time spent in leadership roles.
