About Us

Harvesting Innovation Since 1976

A Generational Family Legacy

Bish Enterprises is a family-owned and -operated business built on the vision of its founder, Harv Bish. Harv’s agricultural ingenuity dates back to 1957, when he patented a corn-sheller conversion for combines. Two decades later, in 1976, he officially founded Bish Enterprises in Giltner, Nebraska, to deliver innovative harvesting solutions to farmers. Today, under the leadership of third-generation owner Andrew Bish, our family works alongside a talented team of engineers, fabricators and field specialists to carry forward our founder’s spirit of ingenuity and farmer-first service. 

Our Mission

To empower farmers with high-performance agricultural equipment that maximizes yield, reduces waste and delivers lasting value. We innovate responsibly, build strong partnerships with growers and invest in rural communities to support long-term success. 

Our Dedication to Farmers

  • Field-Driven Design: Every idea starts on the farm. We spend seasons alongside growers, listening to their challenges and testing prototypes in real-world harvesting conditions. 

  • Responsive Service: From rapid parts replacement to on-site support and hands-on training, our team is committed to keeping equipment running when it matters most. 

  • Long-Term Partnerships: We view our customers as part of the Bish family. Beyond equipment sales, we offer demo days, flexible financing and best-practice resources to help growers thrive year after year. 

Pioneering Agricultural Innovation

  • Patented Solutions: From Harv’s original sheller conversion to today’s SuperCrop series, our patent portfolio addresses niche harvesting needs others overlook. 

  • Collaborative R and D: We partner with leading universities, crop research centers and industry experts to co-develop next-generation headers, decorticators and field accessories. 

  • Continuous Improvement: Our in-house engineering team uses CAD modeling, finite element analysis and extensive field trials to refine designs, enhance durability and boost efficiency each season.
