Auctioneers Note: I am honored to have the opportunity to offer this line of equipment for K&B Farms (Kenny Rupley Estate). Kenny was well known throughout the Midwest for owning and operating Rupley Farm equipment for 45 years. His sense of humor and storytelling were a daily part of the business, but it was his commitment to his word, and dedication to “after the sale” service that earned him loyal, repeat customers for decades. This auction represents the personal farm equipment used by K&B farms - an extraordinary line up of well-maintained, always shedded equipment, with many items being in like-new condition. Rupley Farm Equipment is continuing to operate and looks forward to maintaining the strong relationships built over the years.
