The History of Price Farms, LLC...
 
From the old days of tractors..   To the new satellite guidance tractors…

Price Farms, LLC was established in 1964 when  J. Truman Price first came to the San Luis Valley with his wife Cozette.   Truman and Cozette moved to Colorado from the Texas Panhandle where Truman had worked with his father on his father's farm.  With all the knowledge that Truman's father passed on to him, Truman and Cozette started farming Russet Potatoes on two circles of ground.  (For those of you unfamiliar with farm jargon, a circle is approximately 160 acres of land.)   Truman was wise with his money, and knew how to put in a hard day's labor.  They put everything they had into the farm, and their endurance paid off.   After a few successful years, more land was purchased, as well as the utilization of more modern equipment.  Truman understood the land, took appropriate risks and today has become a  successful farmer in the San Luis Valley.  The farm operation has since grown to over 2400 acres!  Truman and Cozette raised two children, J. Kent Price, and Duane T. Price.  They passed on their love of farming to both boys who now continue the family tradition ...

Kent started farming in 1983 and began full time farming in 1987 after obtaining his degree in Industrial Technology.  While helping his dad expand the farm over the years, Kent and his wife Lorena also had four children.  Scott, Chad, Andrew, and Hannah assist in Farm Maintenance when they are able!  Kent manages the day to day operations for the farm.  As the farm has expanded into Certified Seed, Kent has followed in his fathers footsteps of taking risks where appropriate and continuing to grow the farm operation.

Duane joined the farm in 1994 after obtaining his degree in Accounting from Adams State College.  Duane and his wife Candice continue to contribute to the farm today.  Duane manages the staff in daily operations and his wife Candice contributes by managing the web site.  Duane and Candice are have one son Aiden and hope to add to their family!

As the farm continues to grow, Truman, Kent, and Duane consistently work together and create new opportunities and expand this heart grown operation.
