Growing the Grain Handling Equipment Division
Identifying opportunities is just as much of a cornerstone to Stutsmans as serving customers for success is. As gas-powered combines and shelled corn started to become more popular in the post-war ’50s, on-farm grain bins started coming onto the scene. Recognizing the opportunity to pioneer the selling of grain storage and drying equipment in southeast Iowa, Eldon brought on the Black, Sivalls & Bryson (BS&B) line of bins. At this time, Butler was their biggest competitor.
