Dawn Equipment Company is an American corporation based in Sycamore, Illinois, and is a manufacturer of tools for row crop planters, as well as fertilizer openers and Strip-till systems. Dawn's original product line was limited to "screw-adjust" row cleaners. As the company has grown, so has its product offerings.

All Dawn products are manufactured in the United States of America, and raw materials are sourced through American Companies.
Dawn's corporate color is Navy Blue, typically set on a white backdrop. The Dawn flag, Dawn corporate literature/signage, and Dawn company vehicles/trailers all carry this color scheme. All Dawn equipment is powder coated black, and can be recognized by the unique screw-adjust handle which regulates height on most varieties of Trashwheels Row Cleaners.
