Happy Farmer

The story of Happy Farmer began in 1916, with the initial creation of tractors in Minneapolis. A swift reorganization followed, resulting in the formation of the La Crosse Tractor Company through the unification of Happy Farmer and the Sta-Rite Engine Company. This new entity continued crafting tractors under the established Happy Farmer name until 1921. Although Oshkosh Tractor expressed interest in acquiring the operation and relocating its facilities, the negotiations ultimately fell through, bringing an end to Happy Farmer’s manufacturing endeavors.
