Frank Hart & Son
Frank Hart & Son was founded in 1920 when Frank Hart and his son, Milton, purchased the water-powered mill in Berne. They were principally engaged in the milling of buckwheat flour (for pancakes) and grinding feed. That same year they affiliated with a new cooperative called GLF — handling their feed, fertilizer and later farm supplies. The operation remained virtually unchanged until World War II, when the flour milling ceased.
After being discharged from the Army, Milton, Jr., joined his father and grandfather. At that time the business was expanded with a larger office, showroom and loading dock. Also installed were feed mixing machinery and gas pumps.
In the '60s GLF merged with other cooperatives and became known as Agway, and the Harts became Agway representatives. Later in the '60s, to make room for their expanding line of farm supplies and hardware, the outdated machinery was removed. Much of the machinery was donated to the Rensselaerville mill restoration project, where today it powers a grist mill.
The business today is jointly owned and operated by Milton, Jr., and his wife, Ruth. His father, Archie, was employed for many years prior to that. The old mill building remains largely intact, and the customer is individually served in much the same manner as when it was founded.
