In 2012 Market Farm Equipment Limited celebrates 50
years of serving the farm industry. Established in 1962 by Howard
and Eve Market in the small hamlet of McGregor Ontario, Market Farm
Equipment began as a manufacturer’s rep/distributor. Today we
continue to handle the lines of J&M Manufacturing, Remlinger
Manufacturing (Remlinger is also one of our distributors of Market
Farm Equipment products in the United States) and Buckeye
Hydraulics. Please check out our Links page for web addresses to see
all their new and innovative ideas.
After fire destroyed the original building in the early 1970’s, Market Farm Equipment relocated to its current location in South Western Ontario, 4 miles north of Grand Bend along the eastern shore of Lake Huron. In 1976 Howard and Eve’s daughter and her husband, Barb and LeRoy Meloche purchased the business. As the company continued to grow, Barb and LeRoy’s daughter Pat became the Secretary in 1984 and the following year Pat’s Husband, Howard Green started work as the Sales Rep.
Over the
next 15 years many changes to the farm industry occurred such as
no-till planters and drills along with a need for an easy-fill
system. This quickly established Market Farm Equipment as a
leading plastic auger producer throughout Canada and the United
States. 2000 saw a third generation take over the reins when Pat and
Howard Green became the new owners of Market Farm Equipment.
Long on tradition, a fourth generation, Pat and Howard’s daughter,
Natasha and her husband Chris now work in the business. We at Market
Farm Equipment would like to thank the farmers, dealers,
distributors, employees and friends who have made our past 50 years
successful, and look forward to the future. |
