Our Coldwater store serves Mercer County's livestock-dense farm country, where dairy, poultry and hog operations sit alongside corn and soybean acres and where Grand Lake St. Marys watershed rules shape the manure and nutrient calendar every year.
TRULAND Equipment has a store in Coldwater serving Mercer County. We handle John Deere sales, parts and service for tractors, combines, planters, sprayers, tillage, hay and forage equipment, skid steers and compact loaders, plus STIHL, Kuhn, Great Plains and Toro. Call 419-678-2375 for parts, service or inventory questions. We also work with farms around St. Henry, Fort Recovery, Celina, Maria Stein and Chickasaw.
Mercer County is not typical Ohio farm country. Alongside the corn and soybean acres, this county carries something on the order of 300,000 total animal units in cattle, hogs and poultry, and that concentration defines everything from land values to the daily rhythm of the roads around Coldwater, St. Henry, Maria Stein and Fort Recovery. Dairies, layer and broiler barns and hog finishing sites are everywhere here, often within a mile or two of each other.
The practical effect is that a farm in this county is usually running two businesses at once. There is the crop side, which needs planters, sprayers, tillage and combines. And there is the livestock side, which needs loaders, skid steers, feed handling, manure equipment, hay and forage tools and telehandler-type work every single day of the year, not just at planting and harvest. Our Coldwater store is set up for both.
The Grand Lake St. Marys watershed was designated a watershed in distress in 2011 after years of harmful algal blooms, including the bloom that closed the lake for a full season in 2010. The rules that came with that designation are still the framework producers work inside. Farms producing more than 350 tons of solid manure or 100,000 gallons of liquid manure per year must create and maintain a nutrient management plan, and there is a winter application ban running from December 15 to March 1 each year.
That ban is not a minor scheduling detail. It compresses fall application into a narrower window and puts real pressure on storage capacity and on equipment uptime in October and November. If a manure pump, a loader or a tractor is down during that window, there is no making it up in January. Mercer County producers are also eligible for H2Ohio enrollment, which requires a current soil test no older than four years and an approved voluntary nutrient management plan. Manure testing through our agronomy packages runs $90 per sample, which is a small price for defensible application rates.
From Coldwater we sell and support the John Deere line across row crop and 4WD tractors, combines, corn heads and platforms, planters, drills, sprayers, tillage tools and hay and forage equipment, along with skid steers, compact track loaders, compact wheel loaders and compact excavators. That compact construction and material handling side gets used harder here than in a pure grain county, because livestock operations run loaders every day.
We also carry Kuhn and Great Plains, both of which matter for forage and tillage on this ground, plus CAM Superline trailers, Toro, SnowEx and Boss plows, and a large STIHL catalog. PowerGard Protection Plans are available on new John Deere equipment. Call 419-678-2375 to talk through what fits your operation.
On a dairy or a hog site, equipment downtime does not wait for a convenient time. Animals get fed and bedded regardless. Our Coldwater parts counter carries parts for tractors, tillage tools, planters, air seeders, drills, sprayers, hay equipment, ag technology, skid steers, track loaders, mini excavators and wheel loaders. Parts can also be ordered online through Shop.Deere.com, and we run Parts Drop Locations to shorten the trip.
We offer inspection programs across 18 machine types, including 4WD tractors, row crop tractors, combines, corn heads, platforms, planters, drills, sprayers, balers, mower conditioners, tillage, self-propelled forage harvesters and their heads, skid steers, compact track loaders, compact wheel loaders and compact excavators. For operations that handle their own maintenance, Service ADVISOR, operator manuals, Operations Center Pro Service, Expert Alerts, Equipment Mobile and the ExpertConnect app are available.
In a watershed with real rules, precision ag stops being a yield-chasing exercise and becomes recordkeeping you can stand behind. Accurate boundaries, section control, variable rate application and clean as-applied data are what let you show what went where and when.
Our Total Farm Support Plan is $1,500 for spring or fall, covering an Operations Center pre-season review and data clean-up, data transfer from Operations Center to equipment, software updates for equipment compatibility, in-field technology startup and a full year of Call Center support. Agronomy Data Services are $1 per acre for management zones or sample grids uploaded to Operations Center, with soil test results and prescriptions uploaded as well. In-season soil nitrogen testing is $60 per sample, plant tissue testing $60 per sample and manure testing $90 per sample. We do boundary mapping with a TRULAND-supplied 835M Gator and precision ag equipment, and phone support is $299 per year through the Precision Ag Support Center at (260) 296-2391.
TRULAND has been in grain storage and handling for almost 60 years. We do design and site layout, equipment selection, installation, preventative maintenance, custom millwright services and complete dryer service, working with Brock storage systems, Meyer and Superb dryers, Brock pneumatic systems, conditioning fans and heaters, Farm Fans, KLEENair, Grain Management Systems and Honeyville elevators, catwalks and towers, plus a large inventory of Hutchinson and Westfield.
Coldwater is part of an 18-store group across Indiana and Ohio, and the nearest sister stores are Van Wert to the north and Frankfort and Swayzee across the Indiana line. Parts transfer between stores instead of sitting on backorder, and used equipment can be moved so you can look at it locally. From Coldwater we regularly work with farms in St. Henry, Fort Recovery, Celina, Maria Stein, Chickasaw, Osgood, Burkettsville, Minster, New Bremen and Rockford, and into Darke, Auglaize and Van Wert counties.
