Salford Group

Salford Farm Machinery was founded in 1978 by Jake Rozendaal, then a recent immigrant from Holland who had a degree in agriculture, with experience on his father’s farm and training as a mechanic and a welder. He seemed to be able to listen and quickly understand what farmers were trying to accomplish in the field. He would then design and create the machinery needed to accomplish the task. For example, when farmers didn’t have the ability to purchase an “S” tine cultivator, Jake designed and built one in his small shop. When farmers started telling him they couldn’t find 12’ and 16’ cultivators, he built and sold those too. It’s no surprise that Salford’s mouldboard ploughs started the same way. Today, even though Salford still operates from the same location, the plant has expanded from its humble roots. Salford has become a global company that markets machinery worldwide. Now, more than 35 years later, the original desire to build machinery that does what a farmer needs it to do has not changed. Salford offers cutting edge technologies designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s farmers so they can get the most from their land.
