RIMBLE has announced
the acquisition of Rawson
Control Systems, a private company originally based
in Oelwein, Iowa. Rawson
makes hydraulic and electronic
controls for ag equipment, including variable-rate planter
drives and controllers, variablerate fertilizer controllers, mechanical remote electric control
valves, and speed reducers. It’s
a case of an electronics company buying up the mechanical
connections for the future.
Rawson’s products will work
with the Trimble FieldManager
Display, and the controllers
can be operated either automatically by GPS solutions or
manually. The aim, according
to a Trimble press announcement, is to create a “fully integrated solution in the flow and
application control market.”
Erik Arveson, general manager for Trimble’s ag division,
comments: “Rawson complements our recent Tru Count
acquisition. Our focus is to
provide complete end-to-end
solutions for our customers,
especially in the application
control area.” Timing may not
be bad here as input prices
remain a rising cost for most
operations. Equipment that can

Getting that FDIC seal
John Deere Capital Corp.; its
parent company, John Deere
Credit Co.; and FPS Financial
will continue to participate in
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation
Temporary
Liquidity Guarantee Program.
FDIC created the program in
November to help improve
confidence in banks and other
lenders. It guarantees newly
issued senior unsecured debt.
FPC Financial, a federal savings bank and subsidiary of
John Deere Capital Corp., will
also participate in the FDIC program that provides coverage of
non-interest bearing accounts.
their dealers may see a tighter
credit market.
One note from the financial
meeting Agco had to announce
its earnings was a look at
world grain markets. The company notes that grain supplies
remain historically low despite
record production levels, and
current prices don’t reflect
supply and demand levels that
actually exist in the market.
Martin Richenhagen, Agco
CEO, told market analysts that
“the growing population, the
increasing demand for food,
improved diet and growing
demand for energy worldwide
will continue to support healthy,
long-term fundamentals for the
agriculture industry.”

Iron makers see slide
The new year will bring softer
equipment sales, if the earnings
reports of major iron makers is
any indication. Deere and Agco
are predicting lower earnings
worldwide for 2009 in the face
of the continued credit crunch.
While farmers may have access
to the cash they need to buy
inputs, equipment makers and
Kioti Tractor, Wendell, N.C.,
unveiled a new 5-PAW Dealer
Excellence Certification Program at their annual dealer
meeting in December. Under the
program, dealers are evaluated
in five areas: sales, service and
parts, customer satisfaction,
issue resolution, and facility appearance. The company’s new
program recognized 23 dealers.
