       Vernon P. Hofer and Joe Danny Hofer started Rural Mfg. Co., Inc.  in 1968.  The Plant was established from a group of farm buildings existing on Vernon's farm 8 miles west and 1 1/2 miles north of Freeman, South Dakota. The first building used was a quonset type shop, and as business increased it was necessary to build new structures and convert existing farm buildings. Farrowing crates were the basic output of Rural Mfg. Co., Inc. in the beginning. As more equipment was developed and demand for it increased, employees were hired to help with the manufacturing process. In the spring of 1976 it was decided to start construction on a new plant on U.S. Highway 81 just north of Freeman, South Dakota.

      Today, Rural Mfg. Co., Inc. manufactures a full line of livestock equipment and is a dealer for well over 30 other leading livestock equipment manufacturers. The company also custom manufactures a variety of products for other businesses.  The building standing at this present site measures 80 ft.  x 230 ft. with an additional 30 ft. x 30 ft. enclosed loading dock. In 1981, a 60 ft. x 164 ft. warehouse was erected to the northeast of the main plant. The original buildings west of Freeman which served as Rural Mfg. Co., Inc., have been converted back to their original use as farm buildings.
