![]() One of the largest privately held agricultural equipment manufacturers in the country appears to be making plans to build a new facility in southern Arizona. Based in Williamsburg, Iowa, the Kinze Manufacturing company was founded in 1965 and thrives today selling a wide variety of row crop planters, grain auger carts, and high-speed tillage equipment. According to media reports, the company last month purchased for $4 million a site in metro Casa Grande measuring some 443 acres. The purchase, according to the Breaking News Network, may well signal a “likely surge in agricultural activities in the area.” The news service also notes that the Casa Grande project could result in “increased farming innovations and advancements, given Kinze’s reputation for cutting-edge farming solutions.” Those innovations have included an autonomous harvesting solution that can run multiple combines and autonomous carts at the same time; and a multi-hybrid planter, allowing farmers to change hybrids automatically depending on soil conditions. The company has several times expanded its manufacturing space in Iowa, putting up a 128,000- square-foot facility in the last decade to accommodate the building of a popular planter model, as well as a 2,800-square-foot engineering facility in the nearby city of North Liberty.
