BROOKFIELD, WIS. — H&R Agri-Power based in Hopkinsville, Ky., has been chosen as the 2016 “Best-in-Class Dealership” by Farm Equipment magazine.
Farm Equipment has been presenting its “Dealership of the Year” awards annually to farm equipment dealerships for 12 years.
H&R Agri-Power earned the Best-in-Class recognition not only for its outstanding financial and operating performance, but also for its demonstrated commitment to employee training, community involvement and renowned customer service.
Founded in 1990, the Case IH dealer also retails over 50 shortline manufacturer brands of equipment including Kubota, New Holland and Kinze.
The dealership was chosen for the award by a panel of renowned farm equipment experts. In their selection of H&R Agri-Power as Farm Equipment’s Best In-Class Dealership, the judges noted:
“Their market share was the second highest of this year’s nominees, and in our opinion, had the strongest succession plan in place of all 2016 nominees. In the past four years, H&R has acquired 11 locations and now has dealerships in five states — Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee.”
The judging panel included Dr. W. David Downey, director, Center for Agricultural Business, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind.; David L. Kahler, retired CEO of the Ohio-Michigan Equipment Dealers Assn., Dublin, Ohio; and Charles Glass, president, Glass Management Group, Arlington, Texas.
H & R Agri-Power’s selection as a 2016 Best In-Class Dealership is featured in the July/August issue of Farm Equipment, which can be found at www.farm-equipment.com.
