Forge IndustriesTM Marks One Year of MacPherson Family Ownership

Corsica, SD – [July 8, 2025] – In 2024, the MacPherson family of Gothenburg, Nebraska, purchased Farm Aid Manufacturing. In February 2025, the business was re-branded as Forge IndustriesTM and it remains a leading producer of feed mixer wagons. To mark one year under new ownership, an open house was held at the manufacturing plant in Corsica, South Dakota, welcoming dealers, customers, community guests, and family.

“It was great to see a fantastic turnout at our open house,” said Eric MacPherson, CEO of Forge Industries. “The past year has been one of growth and learning for us. We also confirmed we made the right decision to purchase this company, gaining an excellent crew who continue to build the best feed mixers on the market. I know because we use one on our cattle operation.”

With a focus on continuous improvement of processes and products, the team at Forge has implemented several updates to the trailer-mounted, truck-mounted, and stationary mixers in their product line. “The mixers we build are durable, efficient, and unique,” said Nathan MacPherson. “The mixing mechanism is ingenious, the poly liner ensures a long life, and the six capacities mean we have the right mixer for every livestock producer’s enterprise.”

Available capacities for trailer-mount units are 250, 340, 430, 550, 560, and 680 cubic feet. The 250, 560, and 680 models can be truck mounted with the 560 and 680 models able to be configured as stationary units.

The company’s commitment to incorporating new technologies make their products the best option available for livestock producers. A new product line, the Compact Series, will be introduced this year. Capitalizing on the ingenuity and experience of the Forge team, these smaller, pickup bed-mounted units will change the way cattle on rangeland, winter pasture, and cornstalks are supplemented. Be watching for more from Forge on the patent-pending Compact Series.
