Lloyd Erlandson has been a member of Mid Valley for over 25 years and has been on the unit’s Board of Directors almost as long. He has served as President of Mid Valley, as well as President of Backcountry Horsemen of California. He was Rendezvous General Chairman in 2024 and 2026. Lloyd has been flying and farming all his life. He started farming when he was old enough to turn the steering wheel on a tractor and flying since he was 16 years old. He is a graduate of Cal Poly SLO, spent seven years as a Navy pilot, crop dusted for 35 years and is still trying to farm. Lloyd loves the mountains and the high country by horseback with a mule string following behind him. Lloyd usually says he didn’t get very far in life because he is still living in the same house he moved into in Hilmar, California, when he was one year old. He’s been married to Susan for the last 54+ years and would not change that for anything.
