The Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame (SAHF) began as a Saskatchewan Homecoming '71 project. The project was originally proposed by Gary Carlson, executive director of the Saskatchewan Federation of Agriculture. It was incorporated under the Societies Act on June 8, 1972. The founding member organizations were the Saskatchewan Agricultural Graduates Association, the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists, the Saskatchewan Federation of Agriculture, the Saskatchewan Museums Association, the Saskatchewan Section of the National Farmers Union, and the Western Development Museum. The Hall of Fame is located at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon.

The purpose of the SAHF is "to formally and publicly recognize persons who, in the course of their residence in Saskatchewan, made a significant and outstanding contribution to the welfare and improvement of agriculture, and to a better way of life for the farm family." The Hall of Fame's activities include researching nominees, locating funding, commissioning pencil drawings of inductees, and arranging the induction ceremony. The first induction ceremony was held on July 11, 1972.

The Board consists of a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 25 directors, including both representatives of member organizations and directors-at-large representing the general public. There is also an executive consisting of a chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary, treasurer, and a chairperson of the induction committee. The organization currently (2012) continues to operate from its office at 2610 Lorne Avenue South in Saskatoon.
