Farm to Table

The way farmers get their crops from their fields to your table has changed greatly over the last century. Automated systems, along with more reliable tractors and combines have made farming more efficient and saved countless man hours, creating the food necessary for our ever-expanding population. The company committed to getting the best equipment in the hands of North Idaho farmers is Papé Machinery.

A well-known name in the West since the late 1930s, the Papé Company has grown to include Papé Machinery specifically for the Agriculture and Turf market segments. Now locations in Bonners Ferry and Sandpoint bring much needed equipment, the latest in technology, and customer service to North Idaho.

“Papé Machinery is concurrently introducing the new and exciting frontier of technology with Deere’s new AMS (Agricultural Management Solutions) Greenstar™-equipment within a wide range of integrated products and services,” said Moser. For example, a John Deere StarFire™- equipped tractor or combine has a typical tracking accuracy better than any other manufacturer in the market; with its RTK (Real Time Kinematic) GPS, which offers absolute accuracy of ± 2 cm, and relative accuracy in the millimeters – without touching the steering wheel! Papé Machinery has knowledgeable technicians that improve a producer’s profitability with less down-time and more accuracy. But first and foremost, we will always be good neighbors and citizens,” explained North Idaho Territory Manager, Doug Moser. “We are currently looking for outstanding personnel within these communities. If you are a qualified person and looking for a good company to work for, please give us a call”.

“During the production seasons, farmers cultivate the crops and care for the livestock on a 24/7 basis, day-after-day to provide your family nourishment on a year-round basis. At this stage, Papé provides farmers the necessary tools, such as tractors, cultivators, combines, & haying equipment to plant, nurture, and harvest food for the hundreds of thousands of communities across our nation and beyond. Papé Machinery has 21 locations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California, offering trusted John Deere equipment, industry-leading technology, and comprehensive maintenance solutions. With its many locations there’s a good chance that what’s on your plate for dinner tonight, was brought to you in part by Papé Machinery.

“Agriculture is vitally important 3 times a day, every day, to the population of the world – and we at Papé are working hard to become part of that effort by helping growers be successful. “Farm-to-table (or farm-to-fork, and in some cases farm-to-school) is a cultural movement”. Both Farmers & metropolitan individuals are participating in the effort to embrace “sustainable agriculture” & fair trade for the betterment of all people. An example of sustainable farming is Fresh Nature Foods (freshnaturefoods.com), a local Idaho agricultural family-farm that has been successful due in part to the help of Papé Machinery. “We at Papé learn by both our mistakes & successes. And knowing that in a fast-changing world, sometime choices are difficult, but if you don’t make a decision, you’ve just made one” said Moser. We are working hard to make the right decisions & a difference for the betterment of both the Bonners Ferry & Sandpoint areas, and know that we are always open to the suggestions and comments from the community and general public”.

The Papé family desires to serve, inspire, and positively impact both the Ag culture and the general populace. If you are in need, give us a call. The Papé Family created a Foundation (papefamilyfoundation.org) that was fashioned to bring families together in each community. “Keep in mind that the Foundation also takes submissions for grants from locals to help with projects that create a better community”.

Whether you simply need help, a new lawn mower to cut down on your Saturday yard work, or equipment for your day-to-day operations, Papé has you covered. Prosperity in the West is secured by our customer’s hard work and success. We’re here to keep you moving. “And Community-minded, good citizenship is what Papé Machinery is all about. The Papé Family pledge has been kept for over 4 generations now – and we will continue to keep that promise for more generations to come,” said Moser.
