Our Story

Built in Kansas.
Trusted Worldwide.

Since 1967, Kincaid Equipment Manufacturing has been the name seed researchers depend on. Our roots are in Haven, Kansas. Our equipment works everywhere.

Since 1967

57 Years of Precision Seed Research Equipment

Kincaid Equipment Manufacturing was founded in Haven, Kansas with a single mission: build equipment that seed researchers can count on. Over the past 57 years, that mission has driven every product we've designed, every refinement we've made, and every customer relationship we've built.

Today, the Kincaid line covers every stage of the seed research cycle — from planting and spraying to harvesting and threshing. We've expanded the lineup through strategic acquisitions like SRES and developed our own GPS-powered Global Plot Management software to bring modern precision to traditional field research.

Superior equipment is only part of it. Kincaid also provides industry-leading support for all sales and service needs. When something breaks down in the field, you need a partner who picks up the phone. We do.
