Land Pride Announces Kansas Plant Shutdowns

In an Oct. 14, 2024,  letter to dealers, Land Pride said it would be stopping production at its facilities in Kansas due to “continued inventory growth in Kansas and low order backlog.” Production will be paused from Wednesday Nov. 27, 2024 until Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. 

According to the letter, the company has inventory on hand and will continue to ship orders through the work stoppage. 

The letter further states:

“This pause in production may affect some parts that are manufactured in our facilities. We have identified high-volume manufactured parts and are working to produce them ahead of the shutdown. However, even with careful planning, there could be delays in the shipment of Land Pride-manufactured replacement parts.

"To minimize interference with end-of-year retail, our sales and marketing teams are here to help. You have our commitment that we will work diligently to move inventory around to help you save every retail. As mentioned above, we will still be shipping from Kansas; we also have the ability to offer an in-territory transfer or even transfer a unit from a nearby territory."

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.
