WHAT IS STAN’S?
Stan’s is a family owned and operated business. Our services include the transportation of refrigerated goods, dry goods, grain, and feed products, which are milled right here in Alpena, South Dakota at our own state-of-the-art feed mill.
ABOUT STAN’S
Stan’s was established in 1964 by Stan Kopfmann who started the business by going farm to farm with a tractor and grinder to service his customer’s feed needs. Our team consists of dedicated employees that have a wealth of knowledge in the feed and trucking industry.
Feed. Since 1964 Stan’s has been committed to bringing our customers great quality products at competitive prices. With a motto of “A Call to Stan’s is a Load Off Your Mind,” we will do what it takes to supply our Swine customers with the best available products while supporting those products with our state-of-the-art technology that was originally built in 2005 and in 2020 completed a major expansion to improve speed, efficiencies, and accuracy to better serve and increase our Swine Customers’ profitability.

Agricultural Production. Stan’s is a vertically integrated company deeply rooted in South Dakota agriculture. Our farming operation (Kopfmann Partnership) produces commodities such as wheat, soybeans, and corn. These commodities are processed through our state-of-the-art feed mill and incorporated into the rations for our customers, which includes our swine division (Heartland Pork and Great Plains Swine). Our swine division responsibly raises market livestock that is processed in the state of South Dakota. We also reduce waste by fine tuning nutrition, add natural bacteria to pits and lagoons to minimize odor, and carefully recycle the nutrients into valuable crop fertilizers. We provide protein for the world.
