OMAHA, NEB. — With the 2025 harvest season nearly complete and record yields expected, CLAAS continues to demonstrate its commitment to North American farmers with new dealer locations and investment in its Omaha headquarters. These initiatives demonstrate a significant commitment to local service and innovation.
New CLAAS FARMPOINT dealer locations
Starting in 2026, CLAAS FARMPOINT will open two new full-service locations in Atlantic, Iowa, and Mitchell, South Dakota. These dealerships will expand support for farmers across some of the nation’s most productive agricultural regions, providing local access to parts, service and additional product lines for farmers in the area who demand more for their operations.
In the Atlantic, Iowa area, CLAAS FARMPOINT will serve combine customers who previously worked with Ziegler Ag. Meanwhile, the Mitchell, South Dakota area location will expand support for combine customers previously served by Butler Machinery Company through 2026. Both locations will offer the complete CLAAS lineup, including LEXION and TRION combines, JAGUAR forage harvesters and AXION, ARION and XERION tractors. CLAAS also has plans underway for grower support in the Aberdeen, South Dakota, area with an announcement scheduled for the first half of 2026.
Northwest Minnesota will receive a regional support hub, making it easier for CLAAS FARMPOINT technicians to serve local growers. This support hub gives the area on-site parts availability for improved turnaround times and less downtime when it matters most.
“The CLAAS FARMPOINT model is built around service, flexibility and farmer convenience,” said Patricio Frangella, head of commercial development at CLAAS FARMPOINT. “We’re excited to show our continued commitment to the Midwest and provide growers with enhanced local expertise and around-the-clock support to keep them running.”
New HJV dealership
HJV, a regional dealer in Ontario, recently opened another location in Winchester, Ontario, and sells the full line of CLAAS equipment. Their grand opening was on Sept. 24, when they welcomed more than 400 local farmers to their open house. The new Winchester location will provide eagerly awaited brick-and-mortar support in an important geography for agriculture production.
“We’re in what we call ‘tractor alley’ here in Winchester, located next to quite a few competitor dealers, and it’s been great to see who pops in to check out the new store,” said Steve Gibson, HJV location manager. “We’ve received a lot of really good feedback from those who’ve stopped in. This area serves a critical agricultural region for Ontario and the traffic in the store reflects that.”
