Messick Farm Equipment, Inc.
Messick Farm Equipment’s beginnings go back to November 26,1952,
when two brothers, Marlin and Merviile Messick broke ground and erected a
new building along Route 230, three miles north of Elizabethtown.
The dealership officially opened on February 1,1953, with Marlin as Shop
Manager, and Merviile handling both the sales and parts department.
Two years later a full-time salesman and one additional mechanic were
hired, and in 1962 an addition was built to the existing building, housing a
showroom and additional parts area.
The successful Messick enterprise once again outgrew its shell, and a new
21-acre site was purchased at the present location along Route 283, at the
Rheems Exit, Elizabethtown.
With the new facilities providing 7,200 square feet of shop space, and
6,000 square feet of showroom, Messick celebrated its grand opening in
February of 1977. Messicks have since expanded the building twice and
have built an additional warehouse.
Today Messick attributes much of its growth to its 44 employees, including
15 mechanics, 12 partsmen, 5 salesmen, and four office personnel.
Factory trained as well as privately instructed, Messick’s servicemen have
years of experience in the agricultural field. The firm's parts department has
