CONCORDIA, MARSHALL & MONTGOMERY CITY, Mo. — Parallel Ag announces the conclusion of its role as an authorized CLAAS dealer, effective July 1, 2025. This marks the end of a planned short-term arrangement that allowed Parallel Ag to serve the community of CLAAS combine owners while CLAAS identified a long-term dealership partner, as well as the end of our agreement to sell and service CLAAS balers and hay tools.
Parallel Ag was proud to serve as an interim solution following the departure of the previous CLAAS dealer in the region. While this agreement was always meant to be temporary, we are grateful for the opportunity to support local farmers and CLAAS customers during this transition. We sincerely appreciate CLAAS for trusting Parallel Ag during this period. Their confidence in our capabilities highlights the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment to providing continuity, service, and reliability to CLAAS customers and dealers. We look forward to maintaining the high standards associated with the CLAAS brand as we move ahead.
From the beginning, it was understood that Parallel Ag would act as a temporary partner for CLAAS, given our existing relationship with AGCO. We committed to supporting CLAAS customers in Missouri for one to two years while CLAAS sought a long-term dealer for the region. Although we are proud of the role we’ve played, we have decided to conclude our contract in July 2025. This decision stems from staffing challenges, particularly in sourcing CLAAS-certified technicians for the brief remaining period. Despite exploring various options, we were unable to find a sustainable solution that would uphold the high standards both Parallel Ag and CLAAS customers expect.
