Prewit Water Well Pump Service

Flint Hills Windmill and Pump Service LLC got its start in 1904 on South Main Street in Benton, KS. Windmills were sold out of the Lang and DeLong hardware store. In 1923 Moots and his brother, Harve, bought the store. They sold general hardware, Standard oil and gas, John Deere farm equipment and also owned the local grain elevator. and Harve sold and installed Aermotor Windmills throughout the area in the 1920s and 30s.

In 1980, the brothers sold the store to Charles “Chuck” Jones, who continued to operate the store as a “one stop shop” and sold everything from Aermotor Windmills to Zenith televisions. When the big box stores and lumberyards came to the area, Chuck closed the store in 1989. However, he realized the demand for windmills continued to be high. Chuck kept all of his windmill inventory and changed the name to Flint Hills Windmill and Pump Service. Chuck sold, installed and repaired thousands of windmills in the 35 years that he operated the business and was affectionately known locally as “The Windmill Man”.

In February 2014, Chuck passed the torch to the next generation of "Windmiller" Tod Jones accepted the challenge to be the next "Windmill Man" for our community. Tod picked up where Chuck left off, choosing to stay in the same location that has been home to the company for over 30 years. With a proud history, and big shoes to fill, the new "Windmill Man" continue the tradition of selling and servicing America’s most popular windmill. Tod operates the company with Colossians 3:23 verse to guide them: Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.
