Howard Equipment & Supply
Continuing to Serve You Better
For more than 60 years, Howard Equipment & Supply has proudly served the agricultural community by providing dependable equipment, trusted advice, and personalized service.
Founded in 1965, Howard Equipment has grown from a small family business into one of the Northwest's trusted agricultural suppliers, serving dairy producers, ranchers, livestock operations, and family farms throughout Idaho and the surrounding region.
While our product offerings have expanded over the years, our purpose has remained the same—to help our customers make informed decisions with confidence, backed by practical agricultural experience and relationships built on trust.
At Howard Equipment, we don't just sell equipment. We help build successful agricultural operations.
A Tribute to the Ranchers, Farmers, and Families We Proudly Serve

Agriculture isn't simply the industry we serve—it's the life that shaped us.
Long before Howard Equipment became a trusted name in agricultural equipment, the Howard family was working their own farm. Days began before sunrise milking dairy cows, moving irrigation pipe, harvesting hay, caring for livestock, and learning firsthand the rewards and challenges of farming.
Those experiences created more than a strong work ethic. They gave us an understanding of what producers truly need—dependable equipment, honest advice, and a partner who understands the realities of life on the farm.
That perspective continues to guide every recommendation we make today.


Every operation is unique.
That's why we believe the best solutions begin with listening.
Whether you're expanding your cattle handling facilities, upgrading dairy equipment, building new fencing, or preparing for future growth, our team takes the time to understand your operation before recommending a solution.
For us, success isn't measured by the number of products we sell.
It's measured by the long-term relationships we've built with the farmers, ranchers, and families who continue to place their trust in Howard Equipment year after year.
For more than six decades, one simple principle has guided everything we do:
We believe honest advice is more valuable than a quick sale. We believe dependable equipment should provide years of reliable service. Most importantly, we believe agriculture is built on relationships, and relationships are built on trust.
"Good equipment isn't measured by the day you buy it. It's measured by the years it continues serving your operation."
