ART'S-WAY ANNOUNCES ACQUISTION

ARMSTRONG, IOWA - Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc., today (September 6,
2007) announced its September 5, 2007 acquisition of the hay and forage
product lines of Miller Pro of Miller St. Nazianz, Inc. of St. Nazianz,
Wisconsin. The Miller Pro product lines have historically had annual
sales of approximately $8,000,000 including a substantial portion of
spare parts. The production of the product lines is being moved to
Armstrong, Iowa where production will resume for the next growing
season. Distribution is expected to increase in both Art's-Way and
Miller Pro product lines with synergizes in our combined dealer
distribution network. "We feel that this purchase offers us growth
potential that will positively impact Art's-Way earnings," commented
Art's-Way Chairman J. Ward McConnell Jr. "We feel that the Miller Pro
acquisition will compliment our current product offerings," McConnell
said.

Art's-Way manufactures and distributes farm machinery niche products
including animal feed processing equipment, sugar beet harvesting
equipment, plows, land maintenance equipment, crop shredding equipment
and seed planting equipment. Art's-Way also produces haylage machinery
for original equipment manufactures (OEM's). After market service parts
are also an important part of the Company's business. Art's-Way
Manufacturing has two wholly owned subsidiary Art's-Way Vessels Inc. and
Art's-Way Scientific Inc. Art'-Way Vessels manufactures pressurized
tanks and vessels. Art's-Way Scientific manufactures modular animal
confinement building and modular laboratories.
