That farm equipment repair shop has been there for a long time now. When you pass down the highway between Coopersville and Nunica you go right by it weather you notice it or not. No fancy signs out front or anything like that to glitz up the place. It's right there at what used to be known as Dennison, back in the old days. Sure enough, if you are a farmer, you have been there with a piece of equipment or two over the years for a major overhaul or just a minor fix up. The two brothers that you will find at work in the shop can fix just about anything. It was their Dad that was at it for a long time to start with, but he is gone now and the same good work goes on day after day. Since the acres out back and up the road have to be tended to during the growing season, you will occasionally find a sign on the door such as: "Planting wheat, be back when finished". When that happens you just have to wait and come back later. It isn't worth thinking you can get the same kind of work done elsewhere. Sure would be hard to say how many pieces of machinery have come and gone through that big overhead door as the years have gone by. |
