Welding business has opened in Ida Grove

After years of working full-time in welding for others, Josh Johnson is offering welding services on his own.

“I just started a week ago,” said Johnson.

A full-time employee of the CN Railroad, Johnson is working part time with his new business venture.

The business, Johnson’s Welding, is being run out of his shop right now, but Johnson has hopes for down the road.

If business is good, Johnson wants to acquire a mobile welder and a truck to service welding needs of customers across the area.
