Tim Dunn Farms
Tim Dunn grew up farming all his life with his Grandfather and his father, Floyd Dunn. After studying agriculture at the University of Arizona, he returned to Yuma in 1989 and began his own farming operation called Tim Dunn Farms. In 1993, after seeing an increase in the wheat industry, Tim established and is President of Dunn Grain Co., Inc. which buys and sells durum wheat and garbanzo beans throughout the world.
In 1994, Arizona's wheat industry was hit hard by Karnal Bunt. Tim was one of five people in the state of Arizona that served on the Karnal Bunt Task Force. His dedication to all wheat farmers in Arizona was evident as he went from meeting to meeting all over the United States to help clear Arizona's name from Karnal Bunt.
Tim has been involved in many organizations throughout
the years. He has been a member of the Yuma County Farm Bureau for 10 years where
he has served at the local and state levels.
He was named Farmer of the Year by the
bureau and earned
the first Agriculture Person of the Year from the Yuma
County Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the newly formed Yuma Area Ag
Council, the Political Action Committee for the Arizona Farm Bureau, the Arizona
Wheat Growers Association board, Arizona Crop Improvement Association and many
other community organizations.
Tim has also been a member of the Wheat Advisory Committee of the American Farm
Bureau Federation since 1995, and was a 10-year member of the Junior Livestock
Committee of the Yuma County Fair.
