In 1979, Barry Kearney who farmed in Howard Township, was looking for a piece of equipment he could not find on the market so he decided to make what he needed. It was his first innovation and within a short period of time he was in the Planter business.

He has not looked back since and Kearney Planters has grown over the past 35 years to employ over 23 full time staff.

Barry has been the driving force behind the business and continues to serve farmers with new technology as agricultural demands continue to evolve.
