LDI Hosts Farm Team Rally

Thursday, October 27, 2022

LDI proudly served as a host venue for a stop on the Farm Team Rally this week. The meeting was hosted by the Kansas Farm Bureau, Kansas Grain and Feed Association, and Kansas Agribusiness Retailer’s Association and provided an opportunity to have a conversation with  Senator Jerry Moran, Congressmen Jake LaTurner & Tracey Mann, and gubernatorial candidate Derek Schmidt.

The LDI-Topeka store was the final stop on a tour of Kansas agriculture focused on the successes and challenges facing agriculture and a discussion of public policy and agribusiness.

LDI-Topeka Store and Technology Division Manager, Dan Byers, welcomed the crowd gathered in front of a backdrop of Fendt equipment.

“LDI was formed in 1988 in Hays, Kansas when Brian Lang started working on equipment and putting machinery together with the tools in the back of his truck. Since that time, LDI has evolved into an 11-store dealership across Kansas with one store in southwest Iowa,” said Byers.

Byers and the LDI team shared some additional facts about LDI at the event.

·      LDI has approximately 10,000 customers in all 105 Kansas Counties in addition to service territory in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri.

·      LDI is active in Kansas communities contributing approximately $35,000 to FFA and 4-H Scholarships, 4-H and club donations, and charities.

·      LDI employees travel more than 1.1 miles on Kansas roads meeting Kansas farmers where they are in the fields with equipment, parts, and service. 

·      LDI products and services span the entire growing cycle from planting to application to harvest and support farmers in all industry segments.

·      LDI shares in AGCO’s commitment to precision agriculture innovations that address sustainability with the most fuel-efficient equipment on the market.

·      LDI is dedicated, like AGCO, to farmer-first strategies. We aim to increase net farm income by improving yield and reducing waste through award-winning
AGCO brand products and an exceptional customer experience that delivers value from purchase to replacement.

Congressman Jake LaTurner remarked on the challenges, including widespread drought and rising input costs faced by farmers today.

Jerry Moran, a native of the Hays area, shared his pride for agricultural and rural-life and the importance of supporting Kansas agriculture through the economic ups and downs we are currently facing.
