While farm shops may be a common sight in the Midwest, particularly the rural upper Midwest, they are less well-known in other parts of the country. A farm shop serves a multitude of roles; the building can be a central location for equipment maintenance, fabrication and service, parts and tool storage, and often has an adjoining office. The shop provides a place where farmers can service, assemble, repair, adjust and modify equipment, and keep tools in one location for field and farmstead operations.
