AGCO is a company that produces tractors, combines, and other agricultural equipment, with a presence in 140 countries around the world! Some of their brands you may be familiar with are Massey Ferguson, Challenger, and Gleaner combines. For those of you who are into the old stuff, like we are on my family’s farm, AGCO is the parent company of what used to be Allis-Chalmers. AGCO is on the cutting-edge when it comes to engaging their clients and fans through the use of on-line media; this photo contest is just one example. (Besides Facebook, I like to follow AGCO on Twitter and their blog site too!)
The second annual holiday photo contest provided me an opportunity to “deck the farm” for the Christmas season. I came up with my own theme of “What do you want under your Christmas tree this year?” and I had my dad assist in arranging our AGCO products and then I had him don a Santa hat for the picture! In the picture you’ll see (L to R) a 1958 Allis-Chalmers D17, My dad and a 1974 Gleaner F, and a 1952 Allis-Chalmers WD-45.
