Buhler Moving Fargo Operation To Willmar, MN

Buhler Industries has announced that products manufactured in Fargo, ND will be relocated to its factory in Willmar, MN.
 
The Willmar facility manufactures products under the Farm King brand.
 
The move will happen over the summer and production in Fargo will cease on September 30, 2020.
 
The Fargo operation currently employees around 35 people.
 
The company says this is the result of unpredictability in the agriculture commodities market and fluctuations in the exchange rate, as dealers in Canada market several US-based Farm King-branded products.
 
Buhler Industries designs, manufactures and distributes agricultural equipment. The products are marketed under the brand names Versatile and Farm King.
 
Buhler operates manufacturing facilities and distribution centers in the United States and Canada.
