Eis Builds Team from Ground up with Lessons Learned at Precision Farming Dealer Summit

Jon Eis, COO and co-founder of Eis Implement, has something to say to those on the fence about attending the 2024 Precision Farming Dealer Summit.

“Jump already and run to Indianapolis.”

The northeast Wisconsin-based John Deere dealer has been attending the annual conference since 2014.

“At that time, we needed to develop our newly created precision team,” Eis says. “We needed leadership directly involved too because of the anticipated importance of precision farming.”

He credits the Summit for helping build his precision team from the ground up.

“It’s been a profitable division for us 3 years in a row now,” he says. “We implemented many of the best practices learned at the Summit.”

Service technicians and managers have also represented the dealership at the conference over the years. Eis sees added value in bringing multiple employees from different departments.

“Who likes to travel by themselves anyway? We have found that by sending a group, our people have more fun, are more engaged and grow more because they share with each other what they’ve learned,” he says.

“The education, personal development, team building and connections gained far outweigh the investment. Plus, what better way to say thanks to our amazing crew? It’s a couple days away from the dealership to get out, relax and enjoy a few nice drinks and meals.”

Canada's Agriculture Day 2025

Video: Canada's Agriculture Day 2025

Let's celebrate Canadian agriculture.

Well, number one, you don't eat without farmers. Farmers put food on the table. And what could be more important than that?

Well, I think it's important that Canadians understand exactly what takes place, what happens to produce this food, no matter what sector you're talking about.

An awful lot of work goes into that. It's important to understand that meat does not come out of a showcase, and milk does not come out of a bottle. It's produced by farmers and hard work.

Canada has the best farmers in the world. And agriculture is vital to Canada.

In 2024, our agriculture and agri-food sector represented $150 billion of Canada's GDP, nearly $100 billion of our exports, and one in nine jobs.

From grains to fruits to dairy and beef, we are truly blessed with an incredible bounty. Having spent my whole life in agriculture, I see so much potential for the sector.

This time last year, I was proud to open our first-ever agriculture and trade office in the Indo-Pacific, the world’s fastest-growing economy, to cement our presence in the region and grow our exports even more. We've also been making historic investments to help our farmers to boost their yields, protect the planet, and earn a fair living.

The world wants more top-quality, sustainable food, and I know our Canadian farmers can deliver. And it's so important that you do that with pride. We need you.

Quite simply, you eat the most top quality food in the world. You do that because of the quality of farmers and ranchers you have in this country.

Just say thank you to a farmer or a rancher. They work very hard, yes, for a living, but also with a sense of pride in what they produce.

That's what Canada's Agriculture Day is all about.
