Jim McAllister of Gering and his son, Jordan, spent years doing service work together for Jim’s business, McAllister Irrigation. But while they enjoyed that, they always hoped to someday add to their business by running a dealership together for a major center pivot brand. Their dream became a reality a couple years ago, when they purchased Midwest Farm Service in Gering, a business that sells Zimmatic pivots and other Lindsay products.
