About Us
OUR HISTORY
Gorter's Clay & Dairy Equipment, Inc., has been serving dairy producers since
1967. At that time Lawrence Gorter started to serve livestock and dairy
producers in southwest Minnesota and parts of east central South Dakota.
Shortly after that Rusty Hartke started working for him. Within a few months
after Rusty's high school graduation he was offered a partnership interest in the
company with Lawrence and his two sons. Rusty became sole owner in
1998.
Gorter's Clay & Dairy Equipment has gained a reputation for providing products
and services to meet each dairy producer's equipment needs.
We provide full service to nearly 2,000 livestock producers, within a 100-mile
radius, who milk as many as 5,000 cows per farm.
