History
W.C. Orscheln opened the first Orscheln Farm & Home store in Sedalia, Missouri, in 1960. Jerry Orscheln took over the business in the mid-1960s.

The company operates a distribution center in Moberly, Missouri. In January 2015, it acquired a distribution center in Abilene, Kansas, formerly used by the defunct ALCO Stores retail chain. Company president Stephen Chick said the acquisition of the Abilene distribution center means the company is "poised to double the number of Orscheln Farm and Home retail stores as we continue our growth and expansion."

In February 2021, Tractor Supply Company announced that it would acquire Orscheln for $297 million. The deal was completed in October 2022; in order to mitigate federal anti-trust concerns, Tractor Supply sold 73 Orscheln stores and the Orscheln distribution center in Moberly, Missouri, to Bomgaars, and 12 stores were sold to Missouri-based farm store chain Buchheit.
