ARMSTRONG, Iowa, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Art's Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: ARTW), a leading manufacturer and distributor of agricultural machinery, equipment and services today announces it was one of the featured presenters at the Sidoti & Company, LLC semiannual New York Micro-Cap Conference held at the Grand Hyatt New York Hotel in midtown Manhattan.

Sidoti & Company, LLC, founded in 1999, is Wall Street's preeminent providers of equity research focused on undiscovered, profitable companies at a market capitalization of less than $3 billion. Sidoti & Company has made it their mission to shed light on the sub-$200 million micro-cap space and its trove of neglected gems. Sidoti's collaborative and informative Micro-Cap Conferences contribute greatly to this enlightenment process, as they introduce companies that boast sound fundamentals and intriguing stories, show fast growth and profitability, or otherwise hold great promise, yet are largely unknown to investors. At Sidoti's last conference, nearly every major institutional investor in the micro-cap sector was present.

Art's Way's presentation, which included a slide show given at this conference, will be archived on the Art's Ways Manufacturing web site www.artsway-mfg.com under the Investor Relations tab.
