Rumor for months now that the Chevy dealer is going to close in town of 14,000 here. He's down to very little inventory, looked like a baker's dozen of cars on the lot today. I suppose it will be combined over to the Pontiac dealer which has a 4 year old building & lot.

Ford/ New Holland basically shut down the local tractor dealership, it's parts only now. NH demanded they put in all the support for & sales of the Yellow combines, and those things do _not_ sell around here. I only know of 2 running in this county. Pretty hard to put in the training, parts, and fees to support 2 farmers.... So they just pulled away from NH, going to NH compacts for a while, now just NH parts (pretty good older service man for repairs tho) as Kubota was outselling NH anyhow.

There is a pretty stong Ford car/truck dealer in town, with a bigger branch in the neighboring town of 3000. They had plans to build a new building, bought another 1/2 block a couple years ago, but I would certainly think that plan is on hold for now.

The Chrysler/ Dogde dealership was folded a year or 2 ago, and went in with the Jeep dealer in town. This was right as the auto sales collapsed, so there is very little Dodge trucks viewable in town, they never put in much inventory. Too bad, as I kinda was partial to them. I think this dealership promotes Kawasaki heavier than Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, but not telling them how to run their business, it can't be easy from their side of things!

The JD dealership merged with a group of dealers some time ago. JD id paring down their network, to be run by large franchises owning several dealerships.

IHC/Case left years & years ago - decades ago, as did Agco.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T ... [Read Article]
