Overview
McConnell Farm Supply was founded in 1971 by James (Jim) and Karen McConnell, and has built its foundation on supporting primarily dairy and livestock operators in the State of Michigan, but also row crop farmers, contractors, landscapers, and others who may have a need for their sales, service, or parts department. Jim and Karen are lifelong residents of Isabella County, where they continue to reside and operate McConnell Farm Supply along with their son, Nick. Community support and involvement have always been long standing priorities for the family, who established this fund to provide support for young people looking to enter the field of agriculture.
