Notably, in South America the company cut production levels by >50% YoY in the quarter. Looking ahead, additional cuts are expected in 4Q and in 1H25 as FY production is now guided down ~25% vs. prior down 20-25%.

In a statement, AGCO emphasized the need to reduce costs and create efficiencies to remain competitive while continuing to support farmers. The recent layoffs will affect fewer than 70 employees.

“Aligning our workforce and production schedules to meet current demand can be difficult for our team, and we will continue to take steps to minimize employee impact while meeting farmer needs. AGCO is proud to be part of the Hesston community, where our employees build the world-class equipment that help farmers feed the world.鈥��

AGCO Corporation provided updates regarding the growth plan for its North American distribution network today. AGCO embarked on an ambitious plan in聽North America聽in 2022 to transform and expand its North American dealership network to meet growing farmer demand and ensure comprehensive access and superior customer experiences of its popular brands and services. Recent updates in its North American network include expansions in聽Missouri聽and聽Wisconsin聽by experienced AGCO dealers Brookfield Tractor, Parallel Ag, McFarlane Manufacturing Company and Vanderloop 婷婷激情五月天.

Dealer territory updates in Missouri and Wisconsin will help provide full access throughout both states to AGCO’s popular brands and services, including those from Fendt, Massey Ferguson and PTx. This expansion is the result of an agreed-upon transition with Ziegler Ag 婷婷激情五月天, which has made the decision to strategically consolidate and remain focused on its services in the Minnesota, Iowa and northwest Missouri markets.聽

Existing AGCO dealerships will expand their services to support previous Ziegler Ag 婷婷激情五月天 customers in central Missouri and southern Wisconsin. Specifically:

“The divestiture of Grain & Protein supports AGCO’s strategic transformation, recently accelerated by the PTx Trimble joint venture, which closed in April 2024,” said Eric Hansotia, AGCO’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Divesting this business allows us to streamline and sharpen our focus on AGCO’s portfolio of award-winning agricultural machinery and precision ag technology products, which underpins a long-term focus on high growth, high margin and high free cash flow generating businesses.”

“AIP has extensive experience in the industrial sector and vast carve-out expertise, which we believe will unlock new potential for the Grain & Protein business. We believe the move will help ensure its brands continue to lead the market in grain, seed and protein production equipment and remain well-positioned to deliver for farmers,” added Hansotia.

AGCO expects to use the net proceeds from the transaction consistent with its stated capital allocation priorities, including debt repayment, disciplined investment in technology and organic growth initiatives and return of capital to shareholders.

The restructuring is expected to yield annual savings of up to $125 million by 2025. The changes respond to weakening agriculture demand and reduced net farm income, leading to production cuts and reevaluating additional cost-saving opportunities. AGCO shares fell 4% following the announcement.
