About Greenway Industries.

Why the unusual combination of seed business and manufacturing? Alan Greenway entered the seed business in 1970, but had parallel interests, ie., elk hunting and horse packing.

He enjoyed packing his horses and mules and venturing deep into Idaho's primitive areas. Most of the products that we manufacture are the results of Alan's thought process as he and hunting buddies sat around a sheephearder store in the middle of November snow storms.

For example, he would pack in horse blankets only to see them soak through and stay wet the entire trip. Greenway Industries tried scores of fabrics over 15 years before they came up with their triple layer concept of water-proofness and breathability - today being used in Equi-Dry™ Horse Blankets and SnugBug™ sleeping bag covers. Alan also built new tents every year for 20 years before finding the perfect fabric for a very lightweight water-proof breathable tent - (DryLite™ Tents).

Thirty years of horsepacking mistakes have been corrected with the manufacture of a line of products called IronCloth™. Examples are: Pannjers and cantle bags that won't fall apart; saddle scabbards that are breathable, yet keep your rifle from getting rusty in a rainstorm; hay bags that will last a virtual lifetime; chaps and bib overalls that are extremely durable yet water-proof and breathable.

The hay stack cover manufacturing started in 1990 because Alan, selling farmers alfalfa seed, also saw the need for hay covers for those same farmers' hay stacks.
