HJV Opens New Location in Winchester for Local Growers

CLAAS is expanding its reach across Canada with HJV’s new dealership in Winchester, Ontario. The regional dealer, already known for its strong service network, celebrated its grand opening on September 24, 2025, drawing more than 400 local farmers.

The new Winchester dealership offers the full CLAAS equipment lineup, including combines, tractors, and forage harvesters. This location strengthens CLAAS’ retail and service presence in one of Ontario’s most productive agricultural areas. 

“CLAAS is a partner you can rely on,” said Jan-Hendrik Mohr, CEO of CLAAS Group. “We will continue to grow, investing across the entire value chain - from our expanded retail, service and supplier network to the North American R&D Center and the just-announced Customer Experience Center on our Omaha campus."

The Winchester site provides much-needed brick-and-mortar support, ensuring farmers benefit from in-person expertise and parts availability. This investment underscores CLAAS’ continued commitment to supporting Canadian growers through reliable equipment, local service, and innovation.

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.
