John Deere dealerships pulling together for the relief effort included Landmark Implement, AgriVision Equipment Group, Green Line, Platte Valley Equipment, Stutheit Implement Co., Plains Equipment Group, Grossenburg Implement and 21st Century Equipment LLC.

The Equipment Dealers Foundation has been providing grant assistance to employees of dealerships in areas where natural disasters have wreaked havoc since 2005, following Hurricane Katrina. The grant money awarded can be used for temporary housing, food, water and other necessities.

In response to Hurricane Harvey, the Equipment Dealers Foundation (EDF), with support from several regional associations, has released a call to action for their members and the agriculture community as a whole. The groups are asking for donations to EDF’s Disaster Relief Fund which will provide financial aid to victims of the hurricane.

The donations are being made to several national and local charitable organizations to aid in relief efforts. Kubota is also committed to helping in the cleanup and restoration efforts.
