Missouri & Wisconsin get new AGCO dealerships

 

AGCO is strengthening its presence in the Midwest. The company has announced plans to expand its dealership network in Missouri and Wisconsin. This strategic move aims to enhance farmer support and accessibility to its renowned brands, including Fendt, Massey Ferguson, and PTx.

To achieve this, AGCO is partnering with experienced dealerships - Brookfield Tractor, Parallel Ag, McFarlane Manufacturing Company, and Vanderloop Equipment. These dealers will expand their operations to cover areas previously served by Ziegler Ag Equipment, which is focusing on its operations in other states.

Farmers in central Missouri and southern Wisconsin can expect seamless service continuity as AGCO and its new dealerships implement comprehensive customer care plans.

Dedicated support teams will be in place to assist farmers during the transition and introduce new product offerings.

This expansion underscores AGCO's commitment to the farming community. By increasing its dealer network, the company aims to provide farmers with easier access to advanced agricultural equipment and technologies.

White rot, also known as sclerotinia, is a common agricultural fungal disease caused by various virulent species of Sclerotinia. It initially affects the root system (mycelium) before spreading to the aerial parts through the dissemination of spores.

Sclerotinia is undoubtedly a disease of major economic importance, and very damaging in the event of a heavy attack.

All these attacks come from the primary inoculum stored in the soil: sclerotia. These forms of resistance can survive in the soil for over 10 years, maintaining constant contamination of susceptible host crops, causing symptoms on the crop and replenishing the soil inoculum with new sclerotia.
