Spudnik goes beyond the striking red equipment in potato fields. On a cold morning in 1958, with sweat running down their faces, Carl and Leo Hobbs decided there must be a better way to handle potatoes. Their development of the Scooper launched Spudnik Equipment Company. Maintaining their spirit of innovation and dedication has led Spudnik to be a world-renowned leader in the potato, sugarbeet, and specialty vegetable industries.
