FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1925
Company History...
It started back in 1925 when E.J. Smith founded one of the country’s first golf course equipment distributorships. Knowing very little about the fledgling turf care industry, he accompanied the representatives of the Toro Manufacturing Company to the Minikahda Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota to see a revolutionary new approach to mowing the fairways. Rather than trotting out the horses, this time five mowers were mounted in front of a Toro Bull Tractor. It was the very first application of mechanized golf course maintenance equipment and he immediately understood that this would be the future of the industry.
He also knew that for his new business to be successful, it must rely on four basic principles: integrity, innovative products, exceptional service and an absolute commitment to the customer’s success. Those four elements became the benchmarks of the company and form the foundation upon which Smith Turf & Irrigation was built.
Four generations later, those timeless principles still steer this customerfocused business as Chairman Emeritus Wayne Smith, Jr., Chairman & CEO Steve Smith and President & COO Anna-Lindsay Yarbrough continue the legacy of E.J. Smith. And while a lot has changed since 1925, thank goodness a lot hasn’t.
