The Young family has a long history in both the agricultural industry and the agricultural equipment business. The family has ties back to Massey Harris/Ferguson, as Lloyd worked for the company and was a Massey dealer in Weyburn from 1959-1968. After that, Lloyd and his brother Ray bought the Case dealership in Regina and started Farmland Sales and Service. They expanded that dealership and formed the initial livestock business when they became the distributors of the McKee Stack'N'Mover for Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This became such a successful business that the brothers decided to focus on it and let the Case franchise go.The same year that transpired was the first year that Tim worked for Case as a demo operator in 1973.
