Power Planter
The incredible background story for our company begins over 50 years ago with the current owner’s grandfather, Wayne Niewold, near the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Wayne is the original inventor of Power Planter augers, but long before Power Planter came about, he started a successful and growing business called Hydra Fold Auger. Hydra Fold manufactures and sells large, specialized augers for farmers to move corn, soybeans, wheat, and fertilizer around their fields faster and more efficiently.
This story is a story of firsts.
When Hydra Fold was in its heyday, another rural Illinois local knew about these augers, and he also happened to be friends with a groundskeeper at the University of Illinois. The groundskeeper was looking for an easier way to plant trees, shrubs and flowers around campus. He also wanted to complete other landscaping tasks around the grounds faster and more efficiently.
