承续百年薪火，发展再创新篇。
山西农业大学始建于1907年孔祥熙创办的私立铭贤学堂，后发展为私立铭贤农工专科学校、私立铭贤学院；1951年改私立为公办，成立山西农学院；1979年更名为山西农业大学，成为改革开放初全国99所重点大学之一。2019年10月，省委省政府着眼山西省高等教育和农业科研改革发展大局，决定山西农业大学和山西省农业科学院合署改革，成立新的山西农业大学。合署改革以来，学校推行“院办校”“大部制”等一揽子重大改革措施，整合资源、优化布局，迈开了改革发展的新步伐。
Shanxi Agricultural University was founded in the private Mingxian School founded by Kong Xiangxi in 1907.
