Halydean Corporation is an investment group that is a land-based agricultural holding company in the dairy and beef industries. The company is headquartered in Hayward, Wisconsin, but primarily consists of holdings in subsidiaries. The company CEO is Ron Braatz.[1]
History and age of company
The company only states that it has "more than 100 years of operational history," [2]which may be referring to the age of a subsidiary, however, there are well documented legal records showing that the entity had its establishment in 1128 with its primary holdings being thousands of acres of grazing land[3][4][5]. This is substantially older than Harvard College, which has been described as the new world's oldest corporation, established in 1636[6][7]. The oldest companies in the world for tea, sake, metalworking, and pharmacy were all established after 1128, the year of Halydean's establishment[8]. Lorillard Tobacco Company is listed as the oldest public American company, having been established in 1760[9]. The Tuttle Farm was established in the 1630's by King Charles II, and is the oldest continually operating business in the US.[10] Based on that information, it can be argued that Halydean is a very old company, although it is unknown whether or not it may hold the claim as the oldest publicly traded company in the world. The company has not made any such claim. According to the Wikipedia's List of oldest companies, Halydean would place number 26 or 27 in the list of oldest companies in the world, had it been included in the list. In 1545 Halydean's ownership was appropriated by the crown, rechartered, and eventually assigned to new owners in 1602[11], and in 2014 Halydean was reorganized as a Delaware corporation[12].
Today
Halydean Corporation is an agricultural land holding company that specializes in dairy and beef production. The company's focus is to consolidate the dairy industry through vertical and horizontal integration, acquiring farms with a mixture of stock and cash.[13]
