Testimonials
When you spend 125+ years dedicated to exceeding client expectations, they have a few nice things to say about you. Here are some notes from our satisfied customers.
Steven Reed - Scratch and Peck Feeds
“Scratch and Peck Feeds has grown over the past 14 years through building trusting relationships with customers and vendors. Younglove Construction quickly built that trust on our project and deserves every accolade we can give. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to refurbish our mill in S. Sioux City, Nebraska. Their vast experience and problem-solving skills, working alongside our experienced maintenance manager, saved time and money on our project. Younglove took the time we needed to find the best solution and never pressured us to spend where it wasn’t needed. We greatly appreciate the Younglove team and the experience of working with them. We all learned a great deal about our new mill through the process. We highly recommend building a relationship with Younglove Construction.”

Kent Nolting, NEW Cooperative, Inc.
“We chose to use Younglove on two new feed plant projects in the past three years for the following reasons: (1) their performance on past projects, all the way back to their first project with us in 1998; (2) we do not have to re-educate them on the many design features we have learned together over the years that have allowed us to construct functional feed mills that are economical to operate; and (3) Younglove is a friendly group that works well with all in a spirit of teamwork that can deliver the expected results."
Jeff Klopfenstein, Novus International, Inc.
"Younglove constructed a grass-roots project for us safely, on time, and within budget. The time from ground breaking to first production was less than 10 months. Even with this aggressive time line, the project was completed without any injuries. The Younglove team set an example that we needed for our new work force to follow. A commitment to the project and the skill, experience, and determination to build a world-class facility was present in the entire Younglove team, from the design to the completion of the project."
David Durham, Peco Foods, Inc.
“I have never been around a project of this size, but I wouldn’t do another unless Younglove was involved in some way. Great job!”
Larry Hooper, Perdue Farms Incorporated
"From start to finish, Younglove looked after our needs and did a great job in helping us to shape our vision and then bring that vision to life."
Keith Glover, Producers Rice Mill, Inc.
“Younglove Construction did an outstanding job in the construction of our new Dryer 6 and Annex Storage facilities in Stuttgart, Arkansas. We needed to have the facilities completed by a specific date in order to fully utilize the new facilities for the 2012 rice harvest. Thanks to Younglove's detailed planning and hard work, the two facilities were commissioned ahead of the deadlines, allowing us to receive and handle a record green rice harvest at our Stuttgart dryer division in 2012. We highly recommend Younglove Construction for any construction jobs in the rice and grain industries. Thanks again for a job well done!”
