Our Story

Over three decades of engineering and manufacturing dependable agricultural equipment.

Company History

Over three decades, F/S Manufacturing has been designing, manufacturing, and assembling quality agricultural equipment in the heart of the Midwest. 
A commitment to innovation and quality have been guiding principles throughout our history. Our products are always grounded in the most important need: making property and field maintenance easier and simpler, every time. 

Our roots are in agriculture. Our founder, Ed Ferguson, worked as a spray pilot and knew what products the industry needed most. Over time, our product line grew from hopper extensions for combines, to hose reels, to UTV sprayers, and more recently to De-Ice Systems. 

We offer more than big-boxed solutions for our customers. We provide customizable  products, allowing users to craft the perfect fit for their operation. Quality, simplicity, and ease of use are at the core of each new product we develop. As we continue to innovate, our goal goes beyond developing new products: it is to offer the best solutions to the industry’s problems.
