AGCO Dealership Launches Same-Day Parts Delivery Service

DULUTH, Ga., - AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, announced the launch of AgRevolution's™ same-day delivery service for machinery parts. AgRevolution, an AGCO-owned, full-line agricultural equipment dealer operating in Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana, now offers farmers same-day delivery in as little as two hours for in-stock parts.

t is the next step in the dealer's implementation of FarmerCore, AGCO's global initiative to transform the customer experience by prioritizing on-farm service and sales support. Customers in the western Kentucky, southern Indiana and southern Illinois service area can place orders online or by calling their nearest AgRevolution location. In-stock parts will be delivered directly to the farm within between two and six hours from the order, depending on part size. Same-day delivery is possible because of AgRevolution's fleet of 30 mobile service trucks that provide on-farm maintenance and repairs.

"We're dedicated to providing an exceptional on-farm experience that takes our entire business directly to farmers, making them more productive and profitable," said Stacy Anthony, CEO, AgRevolution. "Implementing same-day parts delivery is central to our Farmer-First commitment as it enables us to minimize downtime for farmers who handle their own repairs as well as customers who call our expert technicians for support."

With its new parts delivery offering, AgRevolution illustrates how dealers can deliver on FarmerCore promises: the on-farm mindset, smart network coverage and digital engagement.

"FarmerCore puts dealers in closer proximity -- both onsite and online -- to farmers, creating a seamless purchase, service and support experience," said Stefan Caspari, AGCO Senior Vice President of Customer Success and Business Effectiveness. "As FarmerCore adoption expands, the integrated digital and physical elements will empower farmers to engage with AGCO dealers on terms of their choosing across the purchasing journey and product ownership lifecycle."

A growing number of AGCO dealerships in North and South America are deploying aspects of the FarmerCore program, including expanded mobile service fleets, alternative format outlets (e.g., parts-only stores) and digital tools to enhance customer support.

Wheat Yields in USA and China Threatened by Heat Waves Breaking Enzymes

Video: Wheat Yields in USA and China Threatened by Heat Waves Breaking Enzymes

A new peer reviewed study looks at the generally unrecognized risk of heat waves surpassing the threshold for enzyme damage in wheat.

Most studies that look at crop failure in the main food growing regions (breadbaskets of the planet) look at temperatures and droughts in the historical records to assess present day risk. Since the climate system has changed, these historical based risk analysis studies underestimate the present-day risks.

What this new research study does is generate an ensemble of plausible scenarios for the present climate in terms of temperatures and precipitation, and looks at how many of these plausible scenarios exceed the enzyme-breaking temperature of 32.8 C for wheat, and exceed the high stress yield reducing temperature of 27.8 C for wheat. Also, the study considers the possibility of a compounded failure with heat waves in both regions simultaneously, this greatly reducing global wheat supply and causing severe shortages.

Results show that the likelihood (risk) of wheat crop failure with a one-in-hundred likelihood in 1981 has in today’s climate become increased by 16x in the USA winter wheat crop (to one-in-six) and by 6x in northeast China (to one-in-sixteen).

The risks determined in this new paper are much greater than that obtained in previous work that determines risk by analyzing historical climate patterns.

Clearly, since the climate system is rapidly changing, we cannot assume stationarity and calculate risk probabilities like we did traditionally before.

We are essentially on a new planet, with a new climate regime, and have to understand that everything is different now.
