FORMER FARMER PURCHASES COLUMBUS IRRIGATION FIRM Dan Kamburoff was the last farmer in the city of Kent, Ohio, when he moved his family to Ashland Ohio. He raised vegetables and sweet corn on the family farm which he sold at their farm market on Fairchild Avenue. While in Portage County he was active in Farm Bureau and served as county president. He was also a Kent City Councilman. While visiting the Farm Science Review with his wife, Julia, in 2003, he stopped to talk to an old friend and supplier of the irrigation equipment he needed over the years, Bob Webb. Bob mentioned that he had been considering retiring after 40 years in the irrigation business, and asked Dan if he might consider taking over and buying the business. With the practical experience that Dan had over the years, with irrigation systems, it was a natural. A deal was struck, and Dan soon relocated the business at his farm in Ashland, in the shop he had just built to restore two-cylinder John Deere tractors. His territory includes all of Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and New York. Dan carries equipment and supplies from micro-sprinklers to the largest travelers, drip tape to the largest water guns, 5 h.p. transfer pumps to 100 h.p. PTO pumps, and everything in between. His address is 1654 State Route 60, Ashland, Ohio 44805-9372.
He can be reached at 419-281-7000; fax is 419-281-3400,
