Selling to a Consolidated Ag Customer Base
We regularly look at dealer and manufacturer consolidation — and maybe even get complaints from farm customers and outsiders about it. In this podcast from Damian Mason, he sits down with Midwest Ag Advisors to talk about farm consolidation and what strategies ag businesses can employ as the number of farm customers continues to shrink.
From Sewing Machines to the Field Boss: A White Farm Equipment History Lesson
Thomas White founded the White Mfg. Co. in Templeton, Massachusetts in 1858. About six years later, the company relocated to Cleveland, and officially incorporated as the White Sewing Machine Company in 1876. For many years, they were a heavy hitter in the sewing machine business.

Depth Charts & Personal Talent Scouting
Social media feeds remind us of a great idea that Stotz Equipment’s Dealership of the Year Alum Tom Rosztoczy shared with us and fellow dealers and that we’ve put into play back at our company. On several occasions, we used his Depth Chart concept to fill a role before we had to post an open position. Thanks Tom!
Recognizing National Skilled Trades Day
National Skilled Trades Day is celebrated on the first Wednesday in May. By definition, a skilled trade is any occupation that requires a particular skill set, knowledge, or ability. The world around us is shaped by skilled tradesmen as they create, maintain, advance, fix, and more!
