Webb’s Machinery Recognized by New Holland as a Leading North American Equipment Dealer with the 2025 Blue Star Dealer Standards Award

Recently, Webb’s Machinery received the Blue Star Dealer Standards Award from New Holland, which recognizes North American New Holland dealers for their performance and exceptional customer-centric experience. The Blue Star is awarded to New Holland dealers demonstrating the commitment to enhance all areas of their business, from identifying and implementing best-in-class business practices to elevating the customer experience. 

“It gives me a great deal of pride to know that all six of our stores qualified for the Blue Star Award. I give credit to the hard work and diligence of our management team as well as the dedication and commitment of all our staff. I also appreciate the continued relationship we have with our loyal customers.” 

Scott Webb – Dealer Principal 

The Blue Star award program is open to all New Holland dealers, with the judging based on four pillars critical to the success of today’s modern agricultural dealership: Capital investment, competitive competency, customer support and satisfaction and organizational performance. New Holland then assesses and scores these principles across seven key areas — customer experience, sales, marketing, operations, parts, service and technology — of a New Holland dealer’s business. Ultimately, to be recognized, dealers must meet a specific scoring threshold in six out of the seven ‘required’ criteria to be awarded the Blue Star Dealer Standards award. 

“We are pleased to recognize the success of Webb’s Machinery. Their laser focus on driving not only a consistent but remarkable experience for their customers across every facet of their business is an amazing feat. They truly embody the New Holland spirit across their entire organization,” says Mark Lowery, director of network development for New Holland North America. “We’re excited to see how they continue to elevate their customer-centric approach and work with their customers to address the business-impacting challenges and opportunities they face every day.” 

Webb’s Machinery was presented with the Blue Star award at the 2025 New Holland North America dealer meeting, Feb. 5-7 in Orlando, Fl. In attendance to celebrate Webb’s Machinery were fellow New Holland dealers and members of the New Holland and CNH Global Leadership Teams.

California Farm Bureau 2025 Farm Dog of the Year Contest Winner - Willy - CAFB 107th Annual Meeting

Video: California Farm Bureau 2025 Farm Dog of the Year Contest Winner - Willy - CAFB 107th Annual Meeting

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
