Floyd was born April 26, 1922 to G.W. and Dora Hilgenkamp in Arlington, Nebraska. He attended school until the 8th grade at which time he began helping on the family farm after his father had become ill.

He married Leona Wittmann on September 28, 1947 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fremont. After he and Leona were married, in addition to working on the farm he also sold for P.A.G. seeds for 40 years. Floyd was a traditional farmer having wheat, alfalfa, soybeans and corn but he was also open to alternatives such as grapes and aronia berries.
