Montana operator
recognized for professionalism, agronomic skills and continuous
service to area farmers and community
DULUTH,
Ga., Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AGCO
Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design,
manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and
precision ag technology, named Randy
Bauwens of Town & Country Supply Association in
Laurel, Montana, its 2024 Operator
of the Year at the ARA Annual Conference & Expo in Houston on December
4. The annual award honors application professionals for
their skills, dedication and service to their customers and local
communities.
"Application plays an increasingly important role in sustainable
farming, boosting farmers' yields, supporting local economies and
helping feed the world," said Tanner
Lund, AGCO Senior Marketing Product Specialist.
"Randy Bauwens and all our finalists
embody the dedication and skills needed to ensure healthy yields
across U.S. farms, and we're excited to recognize their valuable
contributions."
Bauwens personally covers 50,000 acres across 12 counties in
south central Montana, a vital
area in America's farm-heavy breadbasket region. His expertise is
frequently requested by customers, and his skills are shared in
training sessions with Town and Country's operators. Bauwens is
well known for meticulous care of his equipment, intense attention
to detail and thorough communication with colleagues and farmers
that leads to reliable and outstanding results. As one of Randy's
colleagues said, "When Randy finishes a field, he's made note of
every tight corner, ditch or dike, so the next go around is even
more effective."
Travis Hughes of Bollmeyer Inc.
in Akron, Iowa, and Jeff Jablonski of GreenPoint Ag in Loxley, Alabama, were Bauwens' fellow Operator
of the Year finalists and attended the event in Houston. "Travis and Jeff are such skilled
operators, and I'm very honored to be included with them," said
Bauwens. "I was a finalist in 2013, and it took me another 11 years
to actually win it. I'm sure those guys will keep pushing
themselves – and everyone else around them – until they take it
home, too."
