A true American success story and I’m grateful for everyone who has had a hand in Exmark’s success.”
The event hosted a number of notable local and state leaders, including Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, Nebraska District 30 State Sen. Myron Dorn, and Beatrice Mayor Stan Wirth.
Exmark, was acquired by Toro in 1998 and Rick Olson, Toro president and CEO spoke at the event.
