Adams Hardfacing Co. Built a National Leading Plant
The 1927 procedure let neighbors plow two seasons without replacing blades. Adams discovered the concept and shared it, leading to hard surfacing becoming a full time job. He moved from Wakita to Guymon after a 1959 fire, founding Guymon Industries, Inc. with local support. By 1975 sales reached 12 million dollars, and 1976 projections remained strong as farming expanded. The firm, now publicly owned and family operated, markets ground-working tools nationwide and abroad, shaping the agriculture landscape despite rising tractor speeds.
