Who We Are:

While running his normal milk route in 1934, Eldon Stutsman's neighbors started asking him to bring supplies back from town. With a desire to serve others, Eldon was glad to oblige. The requests kept coming and a company was born.

What started as just a man and a truck is now Eastern Iowa's largest family-owned supplier of wholesale and retail agriculture products and services.

Our strength is in our diversity. Our 200+ employees have extensive experience in agronomy services, manure handling equipment, feed ingredient distribution, transportation, logistics, precision & application equipment, and grain handling equipment.

Headquartered in Hills, Iowa, we are ideally located to serve not only Iowa but the Midwest.

From that tradition, we have been (and still are) driven to not only change to keep up with the times but to be innovative enough to stay ahead; all to better serve our customers while staying rooted to who we are.

As practices, equipment, and technology continue to advance and shift, we can guarantee our tradition of serving for success remains the same; just as it has since 1934.
