Ag World Equipment & Ag Authority: Kinistino, Sask. Category: Under $75 Million in Revenue

摘要

Ag World Equipment and Ag Authority — two dealerships linked together by the same ownership team — are nestled in the heart of big Western Canadian producers and big dealership groups. But, the competition isn't standing in their way. In fact, competition is the origin of both stores.Dave Cook and Don Thorson owned Farm World, a Ford New Holland and AGCO dealership in Kinistino, Sask. In 1995, Ford put the pressure on the brothers-in-law to drop the AGCO line. The pair viewed the challenge as an opportunity and approached their sons— Dave Cook Jr. and Ian Thorson — about taking over the AGCO business. The two agreed, with their fathers as silent partners, and Ag World Equipment opened its doors as an AGCO dealership.
