HORSCH

HORSCH LLC has roots that span back over 25 years and two continents. Back in the early 1980’s, small grain farming practices were very different than today. Multiple pass operations and more tillage made for a very long process just to get a crop planted. Seeing this problem, Kevin Anderson set his mind to make wheat planting a one-pass operation. Through trials and many hours in building models, Kevin introduced the Anderson Opener to the market in 1984. The Anderson Opener was the first opener of its kind, placing fertilizer and seed in a way to maximize crop stand and yield. Using twin row and deep fertilizer banding technology wrapped into one package, the Anderson Opener revolutionized small grains planting.

At the same time across the globe, many changes were happening in Europe. Communism was falling, democracy was growing and the continent as a whole was in tune for history making revolutions. From the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe came tremendous opportunities in agricultural production. Seeing the demand for bigger and better machinery, Michael Horsch embarked on a mission to build products for farmers all over Europe. HORSCH achieved innovations in tractors, applicators, tillage tools and planting systems, and today, HORSCH continues to be the leader in seeding and tillage technology in Europe.

The birth of Horsch Anderson came to be in 2000 following a chance meeting of two great minds of agricultural machinery innovation, Kevin Anderson and Michael Horsch, gave inspiration to build the first Horsch Anderson Planting System in 2002. Since that time Horsch Anderson grew into markets across North America and continues to expand products and create innovation.

Part of the expansion of products would include the "Joker" a high speed compact disc that is revolutionizing the tillage industry. Also introduced from HORSCH is the Maestro row crop planter, which brought to the row crop market technology that did not exist at the time.

Throughout the rapidly changing times of agriculture, Horsch Anderson has continued to evolve as a company as well. In order to create a stronger worldwide brand, in the fall of 2013 the decision was made to brand all products across the world under the "HORSCH LLC" brand. One thing remained the same though, and that is the dedication of HORSCH to continue to bring innovative solutions to farmers across North America.
