Agricultural Equipment Mechanic; PT

Company Description

Bish Enterprises is a family‑owned and‑operated business built on the vision of its founder, Harv Bish. Harv’s agricultural ingenuity dates back to 1957, when he patented a corn‑sheller conversion for combines. Two decades later, in 1976, he officially founded Bish Enterprises in Giltner, Nebraska, to deliver innovative harvesting solutions to farmers. Today, under the leadership of third‑generation owner Andrew Bish, our family works alongside a talented team of engineers, fabricators and field specialists to carry forward our founder’s spirit of ingenuity and farmer‑first service.
