On one of the four oldest dealers in the world. The Manchester Union Leader reports this morning that John Deere pulled the plug on RN Johnson of Walpole NH after 84 years, due to inadequate sales volume. Trucks loaded tractors and equipment for two days, and local farmers interviewed said that Johnson had a pristine reputation for service and that they were very supportive of the community, particularly 4H. They have had to lay off six of 20 employees but they say that they will continue to support the equipment that they have sold, and they will maintain their JD museum. I have never dealt with them personally, but I stopped in there years ago and I remember being impressed with the line of unstyled antiques. The picture with the story shows a very large modern building, which shows that they were reinvesting money and trying to maintain the required image, but apparently there are just not enough large farms in the area. A friend, through pulling, just moved into a new larger building in northern MA. I hope that he can help some big farms get bigger.
