Umpqua Valley Tractor, OPB harvest a strong relationship

Umpqua Valley Tractor has been part of the Roseburg community for at least 50 years, selling farm equipment of all sizes for home gardeners to ranchers and farmers.

Guy Kennerly, owner of Umpqua Valley Tractor, says his business has grown a lot over the years. His long-time partnership with Oregon Pacific Bank has been a big part of the company’s growth. When his business was making the transition to becoming a Kubota dealership, for example, he turned to OPB for help with the monetary aspects.

“We had to have a bunch of financial information for Kubota and it was very detailed, and the bank stepped right up and took care of all that—and that was a big deal for us,” he says.

Guy says he likes knowing that if he has a financial concern or question, he can immediately reach someone he knows at OPB. “They’re just easy to deal with and that’s what I like about them the most,” he says.

Anita Cox, Branch Manager at OPB in Roseburg, says she’s enjoyed working with Guy over the years and seeing his business prosper. “Guy is the nicest person and the hardest working person you’ll ever know,” she says. “To see his energy and the excitement of what he does, I’m glad I’m part of that journey with him as he grows his business.”

Looking toward the future, Guy says, he’s glad to have Oregon Pacific Bank in his corner. “If you want a relationship with somebody, with a bank that’s going to stand by you for a long time, this is the bank you need to be with.”
