About Us
Founded in 1964 by Lyle Pries, Audrey Pries, and Walter Young; Maple Farm Equipment was a Minneapolis Moline agricultural dealership. The name "MAPLE" was selected, as it was Maple Avenue that housed the business operations.
Later with the amalgamation of the parent manufacturer and transition, Maple Farm Equipment became the Oliver, Cockshutt and later White Farm Equipment dealer. Gordon Pries, son of Lyle and Audrey, joined in the business in 1976. In 1991 Maple partnered with Ralph Ager and Lou Roste from Preeceville Implements (1991) Ltd., another John Deere dealership. In 1999 Larry Hilworth became involved and, in 2004, Maple’s John Deere dealerships in Yorkton and Balcarres merged operations together with Preeceville Implements under the entity of Maple Farm Group Partnership. In 2006 Wynyard and Foam Lake also merged their operations under this same entity.
