Alliance Ag Opens Expansive Location in Jonesboro, Arkansas
In March, Alliance
Ag Equipment opened a new 25,000-square-foot location in
Jonesboro, Arkansas, that provides
full sales and services for AGCO's Fendt and Massey Ferguson product lines to farmers in the
vital northeast Arkansas and
southeast Missouri areas. The
Jonesboro team includes 20 highly
experienced staff members and nine field service trucks to support
customers with their traditional ag, precision technologies and
application needs. Alliance's other three locations also added
popular AGCO product lines to their offerings, including the new
Massey Ferguson 500R sprayer and
Fendt track tractors.
Alliance Ag owner and President Gordon
Bruff said, "We're very thankful to the farmers and retail
custom application customers in northeast Arkansas and the Missouri bootheel who have supported us since
2006. They've really embraced the Fendt experience since Alliance
became a full-line dealer, and our team in Jonesboro is ready to help them take their
operations to the next level of production and profitability."
Canadian Expansion Continues with New AgWest and AgriLink
Locations
AGCO's expansion in Canada continued with the opening of two new
locations in February that provide full-line Fendt and Massey Ferguson sales and services: AgWest Ltd.

New Parts-Only Stores for Convenient, Farmer-First
Services
Two AGCO dealers opened Parts-Only locations to

the five new Smart Network Coverage outlet types developed and
implemented as part of AGCO's FarmerCore™ strategy to bring
dealership support closer to the farm. These streamlined locations
stock an inventory of parts tailored to local markets. Serving as
supplemental stores in a hub-and-spoke network, Parts-Only
locations expand the coverage of dealer organizations with an
efficient, Farmer-First approach to product support.
