Haug Implement Co.

Haug Implement Co. began in 1918 when Gunder Haug started managing a farmer owned cooperative in Pennock, MN. Gunder later purchased the business, renaming it Haug Implement Co. Donald Haug, Sr. purchased the expanding business in 1955 upon the death of his father. In 1960, Donald relocated the family business to Kerkhoven, MN, along busy Highway 12. His son, Donald Haug, Jr. (Butch), joined the firm on a full time basis in 1964. In 1972, Donald, Sr. and Butch moved the growing business to a location on Highway 12, east of Willmar, MN, where a new facility was constructed. Butch became the owner/manager upon the death of his father in 1980. Paal Haug, great grandson of Gunder, joined the business on a full time basis in 1992 as the fourth generation of Haugs. This acquisition brought the Stihl Power Equipment line as well as the John Deere Lawn and Garden equipment line to the Willmar location to make it truly a `One Stop Dealership`.
