HISTORY
Vern's Farm Supply has been a trusted name in agricultural construction since its establishment in 1970 by Vern and Penny Bielema. In 2008, Vern's was purchased by Dave Altepeter, who dedicated himself to maintaining the quality and service that our customers expect. In 2023, Dan and Joe Butts, long-time leaders of Vern's, approached Dave with a vision of ownership. After years of planning, in 2025, the brothers' dreams became a reality as they purchased the company. They will continue the legacy of Vern's. Dan and Joe's experience in the agricultural world is vast, with almost four decades of combined experience.
"Our mission is to provide-leading products, service, and guidance to support farmers and agricultural professionals." – Dan
"Quality of work is my goal to ensure our customers are happy with the product." – Joe
