Floyd was an early adopter of farming technology, including being one of the

many county, state and national boards. He served eight years on the Nebraska 
Corn Check-off Board where he was a representative on several national 
committees. He traveled to Central and South America, China, Japan, and Hong 
Kong in an effort to promote agriculture and trade. Floyd has been a committed 
KAAPA Ethanol board member for the past eight years. 

Floyd had strong faith in Jesus Christ. Through the years he served his church 
in many ways. Most recently he has enjoyed the fellowship of Men’s Bible 
studies, his Sunday School class, and sharing his faith with others. 

Floyd is survived by his loving wife, Marcy Wahlgren of Gothenburg; his 
children, Ross (Suzie) Wahlgren of Gothenburg, Lisa Wahlgren (Mark) Pospisil 
of Omaha, Ark., and Jeffery (Sonya) Ristine of Warrenville, Ill. Floyd is also

sister: Dale (Cherlyn) Wahlgren of North Platte, Connie (Carl) Spence of
