(KTNC) - A longtime Falls City farm machinery dealer marked six decades in business last week. Merz Farm Equipment, located on the north edge of Falls City, celebrated its 60th anniversary with an open house Friday.
People enjoyed food, demonstrations, and registered for door prizes. Bruce Merz operates the business along with his son. As he explains, his father started the business, which has grown to its present location. (play audio :29)
The farm implements of today are not exactly the same as they were in the 1950s. Bruce says today’s machinery is much more hi-tech. (play audio :33)
With farm income up, Bruce says a lot of farmers are buying new equipment, though with more new equipment being purchased he says their repair business is down a bit recently.
