Ty Rankin is the GM at Lone Star Ag (previously known as Parmer County Implement), a 2-store operation carrying Kubota, Claas, MacDon, JCB and Oxbo. Lone Star Ag is specialized in its product offering and doesn’t deal with planters and sprayers like dealers in other parts of the country. Its business is very much harvest related. “All of our equipment, with the exception of Kubota, focuses on silage.”
Editor Mike Lessiter is live with CLAAS at AGRITECHNICA interviewing Ty Rankin of Lone Star Ag about the new “brighter solutions” in combines, forage harvesters and now tractors — and what Rankin as a dealer is most excited about as Claas aims to double its North American business in the next 5 years.
Neil Messick, Co-Owner, Brian Messick, President, and Jay Gainer, General Manager, discuss how the Messick’s dealership has grown over the past 75 years to now employ 350 people.
