Our original mission was to sell and service barn and dairy equipment in a fifty mile radius from our home base. Since that time, we have grown tremendously. With the demise of fifteen other dealers in the general area, our services have expanded to cover the State of Ohio and surrounding areas from each of five locations. Six route trucks visit our customers on a regular 5 week basis delivering parts and supplies. Twenty more service and sales vehicles are on the road, too. All the while, ownership and management have remained in the hands of Dolores and son David Hill. Our main location was moved from Middlebranch to new facilities in Canal Fulton in the spring of 1987. During the last 30 years, four more locations and several other lines of equipment have been added. The company name was changed in May of 1993 to reflect the expanded nature of our business. In early 1998, Hill's purchased the dairy assets of Baugher Surge Sales in Williamsfield, Ohio. With Bob Baugher acting as manager of the Williamsfield store, we now offer service to all of northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania out of that location. In 2000 Hill's combined with Jack Fox and Ag One Supply to cover Southern Ohio and Northern West Virginia from Circleville, Ohio, and in 2004 Ben Torsell and Don Looser (TLC Dairy Services) became a part of Hill's to cover the western part of the state. Our repackaging facility in Van Wert is managed by Mick Heiby. COMPETITIVE EDGE:
