�鶹app

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Martin Winter Ford, who died peacefully on November 15, 2025, at the age of 94.

Martin was a respected industry leader who proudly served as President of the �鶹app (FEMA) from 1983-1984. His leadership, integrity, and commitment to the agricultural equipment industry helped shape the strong foundation upon which our association stands today.

Martin’s legacy within the association is further reflected through his son, Christopher Ford, who later served as President of FEWA, creating a rare and meaningful father-son leadership legacy within our industry.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Martin was deeply devoted to his family, an avid sailor, a steward of the land, and a valued member of his communities in Wisconsin and Michigan. He was known for his warmth, curiosity, and unmistakable voice—often declaring that he had “a wonderful life.”

Please join FEMA is extending our heartfelt condolences to Chris Ford and the entire Ford family. Our thoughts are with them as they remember and celebrate a life well lived and a legacy that will long be remembered within our industry.
