In Menno, South Dakota, Mettler Implement has been a vital part of the local community for over 50 years. The business was established in 1963 by Jacob Mettler’s grandfather. By 1969, it had expanded into fertilizer and seed, creating a comprehensive agricultural enterprise. The early 1990s marked another milestone as the company ventured into powersports, introducing 4-wheelers to their product range.
Jacob Mettler has been a part owner of the business since his grandfather’s passing. In 2022, he took on a more active role in the company’s operations, bringing a fresh perspective to the family business. His background in IT, administrative operations and equipment management combined with the family’s previous ventures equips him with valuable skills for modernizing operations. Under Jacob’s leadership, Mettler Implement is embarking on exciting developments, including work on new facilities.
Mettler Implement distinguishes itself through its unique combination of farm equipment and powersports vehicles. This diversity not only caters to a wide customer base but also keeps the work engaging for Jacob and his team. The company has expanded its reach beyond Menno, operating an additional store in Mitchell, South Dakota, to better serve the region.
The Mettler family’s commitment to their community runs deep. The dealership actively sponsors local events, from tee-ball teams to community golf tournaments. When storms hit, Mettler Implement is quick to assist with cleanup efforts. The company also supports local emergency services by employing firefighters and ambulance personnel. Jacob’s role on the city council and his father’s long-standing involvement with the fire department further underscore their dedication to community service.
As Mettler Implement looks to the future, it remains grounded in its core values – family ownership and community service. The company continues to adapt and grow, striving for excellence in both the agricultural and powersports sectors.
Jacob’s dedication to continuous improvement and his connection to the family’s agricultural heritage propel the business forward.
