Blain's Farm & Fleet has proudly served the American farmer for over 60 years.
William Claude Blain and Norman Albert "Bert" Blain founded Blain's Farm & Fleet back in June of 1955. During this time period, legislation only allowed the sale of discounted goods to other businesses. The law also said that someone who owned 5 or more engines was considered a fleet operator and therefore a business. Both Bert and Claude figured that farmers would own at least 5 engines, so this led to the idea of opening the first Blain's Farm & Fleet retail store. As you can imagine, this law played a major role in helping shape the company name. Bert and Claude already owned a farm implements and auto parts business, and knew they could offer more products to their existing customers. Therefore, the idea of expanding their product offerings to their rural, hardworking customer base was an easy decision to make, and the First Blain's Farm & Fleet opened in Janesville Wisconsin.
