Description:	Claude and Jewel Torrence came to the Valley in the first wave of settlers, moving from Pomona ,Ca. to Holtville, Ca.," they established a home place and ranch near Heber, Ca. . The Torrence's were originally from Colorado, where they were farmers. Claude and Jewel Torrence started “Torrence's Farm Implements” in 1939. Prior to that time Claude ran an automotive service/gas station in Heber, Ca. During the late 1930's farming in the Imperial Valley was rapidly growing due to the now abundant Supply of water from the Colorado river thru the all American canal, farmers growing crops in the area needed somewhere and someone to service their equipment; Claude Torrence and his service station became that place. From that day Claude saw the opportunity to not only provide his customers quality service but also quality equipment thus “TORRENCE'S FARM IMPLEMENTS” was born. Luther Hester, a Heber local; who had married Claude's daughter Helen, became Claude's chief sales representative and effectively directed the growth and future of “Torrence's Farm Implements”. After Claude's death, Luther became president of the growing company- Jewel Torrence (Claude's wife), Helen and Luther managed the business and employed a few service men. Luther sold the equipment and managed the store while Jewel and Helen handled all of the finances. The company that was started as a service station, had branched out into farm machinery sales and became synonymous with the local hay industry. Torrence's Farm Implements has diversified its offerings in recent years, today the tractor side of the business accounts for nearly two-thirds of it’s annual sales. In 1973 Scott Hester, Luther's oldest son went to work for the company. Scott gave up his teaching career to help his family further expand the business, Scott worked in every aspect of the business , from parts and service to sales and ultimatly he lead the company as President and General Manager from 1990 until his untimely death Nov 28 2005. Scott's focus was allways on the customer and the community. He taught that taking care of the customer was job one and that supporting local schools ,charities and businesses ran a close second. His presence and leadership are deeply missed. Currently Kirk Hester Luther’s second son manages the Thermal branch and Matthew Hester Scott's oldest son manages the Heber location and oversees the Brawley branch ,Kim Hester Wake joined the company soon after her fathers death and Nathan and Christopher Hester ,Matt's younger brothers also work for the company. Most days you can still find Helen Hester at the office ,going through everything with a fine toothed comb. To Date four generations of family have worked for and helped to expand Torrence's Farm Implements; three generations are currently involved. Many things have changed during the last 60 years, brands have come and gone, locations have changed and employees have changed but through it all Torrence's Farm Implements has held true to the core philosophy that gave birth to this company "Provide Quality Service and Equipment, To Keep our customers working and profitable, because our customers needs are our business”. From a one man, one location business Torrence’s Farm Implements now employs 40+ employees at three locations, in the Imperial and Coachella Valleys. Agricultural,Turf and Light Industrial Equipment.
