Claas Adds Four North American Dealers, Invests in Omaha Facilities

Oct 30, 2025

With the 2025 harvest season nearly complete and record yields expected, CLAAS continues to demonstrate its commitment to North American farmers with new dealer locations and investment in its Omaha headquarters. These initiatives demonstrate a significant commitment to local service and innovation.

New CLAAS FARMPOINT™ Dealer Locations

Starting in 2026, CLAAS FARMPOINT™ will open two new full-service locations in Atlantic, Iowa, and Mitchell, South Dakota. These dealerships will expand support for farmers across some of the nation’s most productive agricultural regions, providing local access to parts, service and additional product lines for farmers in the area who demand more for their operations.

In the Atlantic, Iowa area, CLAAS FARMPOINT™ will serve combine customers who previously worked with Ziegler Ag. Meanwhile, the Mitchell, South Dakota area location will expand support for combine customers previously served by Butler Machinery Company through 2026. Both locations will offer the complete CLAAS lineup, including LEXION and TRION combines, JAGUAR forage harvesters and AXION, ARION and XERION tractors. CLAAS also has plans underway for grower support in the Aberdeen, South Dakota, area with an announcement scheduled for the first half of 2026.
