DPA Auctions is a Fremont, Nebraska-based dealer of wholesale machinery that operates an online public auction service for selling equipment and facilities. The business traces its roots to 1972 as Del Peterson & Associates Auctioneers, initially serving the fertilizer and grain industries, and now runs an online platform that preserves the onsite auction experience through a Live Auction Board and bidding from computers or mobile devices. It emphasizes its more than four decades of industry experience and is led by Steve Peterson, who became President and CEO after his father Del Peterson retired. In the wholesale machinery sector, DPA Auctions supports a national market with a multi-faceted marketing program and an experienced sales team to connect buyers and sellers across the United States. A notable development in 2026 includes acquiring AgIQ, an equipment intelligence platform co-founded by the company’s COO, Dallas Polivka, and forming partnerships with Missouri Soybeans, Inc., Pennsylvania LICA, and the Iowa Soybean Association’s Partners+ Program to broaden its reach in agricultural communities.
