Turn - Key Farm Equipment Business

Decatur County Implement in Northwest Kansas

http://www.decaturcountyimplement.com/

A long-standing, family-owned farm equipment business with a parts department, service shop and hardware store in Oberlin, KS, is now for sale. The third-generation business began in 1945, operating under different names until its final reorganization – renaming the business Decatur County Implement LLC in 1996. A major remodel was completed to the store front in 1975, expanding the inside display area and adding an office and restroom as well as central heating and air-conditioning.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy an established business with deep agricultural roots in a solid Northwest Kansas community. Modern precision farming practices provide a real opportunity for expanding this existing business or further developing to be a part of a multi-location agricultural business.
