The Stalkknockers Story

Meet Kenny and Dave, two lifelong farmers from the heart of southwest Iowa. Raised in the rolling fields of the Midwest, they spent their childhoods working alongside their father, learning the ins and outs of farming from the ground up. For them, agriculture isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life, deeply rooted in family, hard work, and a love for the land.

The idea for Stalkknockers was born out of necessity. Like many farmers, Kenny and Dave grew frustrated with the constant tire damage their machinery endured from tough cornstalks and uneven terrain. They knew there had to be a better way to protect their equipment—and their livelihood. Unimpressed with the existing solutions on the market, they took matters into their own hands, combining their farming expertise with a knack for problem-solving.

What started as a few rough sketches and test models in their workshop soon evolved into something remarkable. After tinkering, testing, and refining their design, they landed on a solution that worked—not just for them, but for their fellow farmers facing the same challenges. Word spread quickly, and soon they were building Stalkknockers for their neighbors, who offered praise and valuable feedback. That encouragement fueled years of fine-tuning until they perfected the rugged, reliable model you see today.

At Stalkknockers, Kenny and Dave are more than inventors—they’re farmers building tools for farmers. They’re proud to offer a practical, Iowa-made solution that stands up to the demands of real fieldwork. And they’re always listening: customer feedback is the heartbeat of their process, driving them to keep improving and adapting to the needs of the farming community.

From their family farm to yours, Kenny and Dave invite you to experience the difference Stalkknockers can make. Got ideas or suggestions? They’d love to hear from you—because at Stalkknockers, better farming starts with better tools.
