Circle C Equipment’s origin story begins in its farming roots. Circle C Equipment was founded by Ivan Cook in 1997 in Hermiston, Oregon on a farm he had operated for 35 years. Over time, he came to pioneer the premium-grade alfalfa export trade in the northwestern United States.
Circle C Equipment came from his years of farming experience. Ivan Cook’s inventions were derived out of necessity. He discovered that his knowledge-based inventions could translate into solving real-world problems for farmers. Circle C Equipment has never lost that connection with farmers in meeting their needs and challenges. Cook’s philosophy lives on to this day with son Greg Cook at the helm. Abiding by Circle C Equipment’s founding principles of building quality, advanced farm equipment made by farmers for farmers is not just a business it’s a part of their culture.
Actually, He is getting ready to put the corn shuck/stalk into big round bales. The bale is then used for feed and/or bedding for live stock. We baled over 300 bales of corn stocks last year because of the drought. Our normal hay production was half the amount of hay needed for the winter. The use of corn stock bales helped us extend our normal hay. By the start of spring all our pasture hay, our alfalfa hay and our hay reserves had be exhausted. The corn stock bales carried us through.
