Our History

Dohickeys, Gadgets and Thingamajigs

Grainfield Supply was founded by Francis Cox in November 1945. In 1957 his younger brother Verle “Corky” joined the growing business that has been serving people across western Kansas and the surrounding area ever since. In the beginning, in what they thought at the time to be a spacious building on the south east part of the city of Grainfield, has expanded to an 8400 square foot building on a 15 acre lot at its current location on Hwy 40. The farm store has been at its current location since November 1976 and continues to be family owned and operated. The sales floor and yard is home to a wide variety of merchandise which includes just about anything you may need for your farming or ranching needs.
