100 Years Strong & Enduring
In 1921, Thomas Ritchie patented the first automatic waterer valve that solved many of the headaches that farmers faced in getting water to their livestock. His automatic float-controlled watering equipment was connected to underground running water and heated with a kerosene lamp to keep the water flowing during the bitter cold. Ritchie has been improving automatic watering ever since.
