Dean out Foley in, no AGCO Sedalia Mo

[gleamer]

I would love GreenHills Ag to step in and open up shop with the boys, I would think they would love the opportunity and a few other Allis people are still around.
Question is? Would Agco allow a smaller shop come in or would they need 5 mil to start up? I think it would work.

I loved Orange's political comment above, LOL, Harvest is coming Nov 2012....

Hopefully help is on the way for you guys! As of a couple weeks ago, the Dean branches in Chillicothe and and Maryville have been bought out by Ziegler Cat, the AGCO dealer in MN, IA, and WI. They are the largest AGCO dealer in the United States and have been even before this acquisition. They have their stuff together and I will promise you, no other dealer offers better support than they do, period!!!

I don't blame you! If what you have on the farm now is working for you, then I certainly wouldn't change it! My only point is that there is now a reputable dealer pushing the product. It doesn't make the product any better, but the dealer support certainly will be. That being said, yes, 3 hours is a bit far to help you at the moment. Hopefully they will continue to expand.

Very true, if i had a lexion store within an hour, i would be seriously looking at buying one. We have an agco dealer 7 miles, but they are just getting going and have to work on understanding the neighborhood.
