Ohio Ag Equipment & AGCO End Distribution Relationship

May 23, 2024

Ohio Ag Equipment informed customers on May 17 that it was ending its distribution arrangement with AGCO. The letter to customers said the dealer and OEM mutually decided to part ways.

Ohio Ag Equipment says it is working "diligently with AGCO and Class of America to find alternative distribution and dealership options to continue to support" its customers.

AGCO and Ohio Ag Equipment will announce the replacement and successor plans for the dealership on or before July 1, 2024, according to the note.

As the world of agriculture changes, so does the landscape of its suppliers. More than ever, market forces are requiring businesses to look within and focus on their core competencies, optimizing their organizations to more efficiently serve the industries that are closest to their roots in order to remain viable, relevant partners with their customer base.

Video: Supplemental Nitrogen on Soybeans: Can Early Nitrogen Increase Yield?

Can supplemental nitrogen help soybeans reach higher yield potential? Technical Agronomist Tim Sickman walks through an ongoing trial at the Nutrien Innovation Farm in Owensboro, Kentucky, exploring whether a modest amount of nitrogen applied at planting can support higher-yielding soybean environments.

The trial compares 30 pounds of supplemental nitrogen across both 15- and 30-inch rows, along with treatments that include sulfur and micronutrients. Similar trials conducted in 2024 and 2025 delivered a six- to seven-bushel yield response, prompting the team to expand the research this season.

Early observations show that treated soybeans are slightly taller and averaging about two additional nodes on the main stem. These added nodes could create more opportunities for blooms and pods, but the true results will come at harvest when the team evaluates pod development, seed fill and final yield.
