| Info | Clarence James (Jim) Svedman was involved in agriculture early in his life, and beginning in 1938 he participated in 4-H Club projects, particularly in cattle raising. He attended Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College, graduated in 1951 with a degree in animal husbandry and briefly pursued graduate studies.

Father and son jointly worked the land in a business a partnership that became known as the Svedman Farm.
