CloseC. W. Welding, LLC, a locally owned and operated machine and welding shop has produced several signature products. A need for one such product was brought to light on an early morning stop to a coffee shop as owner Cornelius Loewn listened while local farmers discussed the constant frustrations that arise from the tires on their irrigation systems. The farmers complained of frequent flats due to punctures and weather checked tires, noting that they never had this problem when they had the old steel wheels from the water drive systems in the early years.
