Remembering Phil Kaster of Kasco Manufacturing

Paul Philip “Phil” Kaster, 86, of Shelbyville, passed away Tuesday, March 4, 2025, in Shelbyville, Ind.

Phil served as President of Kasco, a company he and his father, founded and co-owned since July of 1965. He was a member and past president of Farm Equipment Manufacturers Assn. He enjoyed going to Ferguson Tractor shows.

One of Phil’s greatest joys was engaging in conversations with others, whether at a farm equipment trade show, or in everyday life. He always said, “Everyone has a story.” And he wanted to hear it.

In sharing the news, the Equipment Marketing & Distribution Assn. wrote, "Phil was a dedicated leader in the agricultural equipment industry, known for his commitment to quality and innovation. Under his leadership, Kasco Manufacturing became a trusted name, building strong relationships with distributors and representatives across the industry." 

Visitation will be from 10 am to 2 pm, Saturday, March 8, 2025, at Hope’s Point Church, 1703 South Miller Avenue, Shelbyville, Indiana, 46176.

Funeral services will begin at 2 pm, Saturday, at the church, with Pastor Greg Albert officiating.

Interment will be at Forest Hill Cemetery in Shelbyville.

Services have been entrusted to Freeman Family Funeral Homes, 819 S. Harrison St. in Shelbyville.

Both soybean and wheat futures have traded back above the pre-USDA January crop report close a positive technical chart signal. A monster weekly U.S. export report is price supportive but a kick the can down the road on E15 is very disappointing.
