The Willamette Valley straw market would not be what it is today without the forward thinking and ingenuity of brothers Stan and Gene Boshart and Boshart Trucking. In 1984, the brothers tackled the problems of an industry in turmoil. By providing services along the entire distribution chain, Boshart Trucking is helping farmers and the international market get what they need. Boshart Trucking has also established itself as a community partner. The company is dedicated to helping local non-profits such as kids’ youth and sports associations, the YMCA, the Farm Bureau, Future Farmers of America and many others. Additionally, Boshart Trucking is taking the time, effort and finances to employ young men and women and teach them the value of hard work and safety while also instilling tools to help them be productive and efficient in all aspects of their lives. They aren’t seen as tractor drivers, but as tomorrow’s mechanics, doctors and engineers.
