Yes, this dealership is still owned by the original family and is being passed to the grandchildren. The father actually started in the dead stock business, eventually leading to the feed mill and farm supply business. Included in the business was the Cockshutt/Oliver franchise, then David Brown/Case/White. Local JD dealership went broke during the 80's and JD went looking for a replacement dealer. They tried to dictate conditions to the family and were told to take a hike, eventually agreeing to the dealer's wishes. The father actually lived above his store till the day he died. He was always available 24/7 for parts and in his later years would sit in the showroom in order to shoot the bull with the customers.The only new building they ever constructed was the hardware/office/servicebay building,with the remaining buildings adapted from existing barns. The three sons took over and now three of their sons are now replacing them gradually. This man knew his customers one on one and actually helped many start farming by extending credit. We actually have a Case/IH dealership that is quite similar in that it is being passed along to the children as well.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
