Knowles Produce & Trading Co.

Knowles Produce and Trading Company was established by A.P. Sterr as a farm tractor dealer in 1912. By 1919 a repair shop and office were added, as well as a potato warehouse; hence the “produce” element of Knowles Produce & Trading Company. To better serve farmers needs, there was a bulk feed addition in 1959, followed by a fertilizer building in 1963 and shortly followed by a corn drying bin in 1970. Years have passed, and though Knowles Produce & Trading Company no longer sells potatoes, we still meet the farm demand with farm tractors, other farm machinery, agricultural baggers, and feed for various farm animals. Over 95 years as a growing business, Knowles Produce successfully serves the farming community. Our goal is to strive to remain a well known, strong agricultural business. Some of our successes include being the 3rd top Agricultural Bagger supplier in the nation, Dodge and Fond du Lac Counties most complete farm store, as well as branching to various product lines outside the agricultural community with lines such as Kawasaki, Snapper, Simplicity and Grasshopper.
