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.

We actually have a Case/IH dealership that is quite similar in that it is being passed along to the children as well.
