Farmer Companies

About Farmer Companies

In the late 1940’s, Elliott Farmer, Sr. created a clear vision in the Ready Mix and Asphalt business with Farmer’s Concrete, Cole County Industries and Jefferson Asphalt. When his sons, Bud and Mike Farmer entered the business world in the early 1970’s they maintained the foundation of family first, a strong work ethic, and that failure was not an option. They continued to grow from that vision through vertical integration and expansion into other complimentary industries. Farmer Companies now employs more than 1700 people. The Farmer Companies’ footprint continues to grow into multiple markets and multiple states under the leadership of the third generation of the Farmer family. Their commitment to the companies’ core values, their employees and their customers presents a clear path forward.
