Looking Back: Autosteer Forever Changed Our Business

Tom Janson, Janson Equipment, Reese, Breckenridge and Charlotte, Michigan, shares his thoughts on the farm equipment industry’s history. He writes, “Fifty years ago, success depended on product, availability and location. These are all still very important. However, today the human resources a dealership has, how they are empowered, how they are rewarded, and the level of commitment to customer satisfaction is the key.”

Trimble CEO Discusses Joint Venture with AGCO

Trimble CEO Rob Painter chats with Prairie Farmer just days after selling off 85% of the company’s ag business to AGCO. Does Trimble want to be in agriculture? “We are very much in the ag business,” Painter says. “Not only do we have an ongoing ownership stake in the entity, we also have this ongoing supply arrangement. Doing both of those things keeps us in the ag business. We have some dealers that cross our survey business with our agriculture business, which means we have some mixed distribution footprints that we’re very committed to seeing move forward. So, we’re in.”
