J D Equipment, Inc. appreciates region's support for first 30 years
To the editor:
On behalf of everyone in the J D family, we want to personally say thank you to all of our customers, suppliers and employees who have helped us achieve 30 years in business.
As many of you know, our parents, Don and Maxine Mitchell started the company with just four employees, a few pieces of John Deere equipment and one small store in Plain City, Ohio.
Through the collective efforts of our employees and the support of our customers, we have grown to become the largest John Deere dealer in Ohio and one of the largest in the nation.
However, what we treasure the most is the many great relationships we have built and the countless memorable experiences we have enjoyed with our customers and employees.
Our business was founded with the vision of providing excellent customer service and world-class products by people who care deeply about our customers and our community. We strive every day to follow our motto “serving you for the future.”
Our mission is to meet our customers' requirements now while preparing our organization to meet the challenges and demands of the future. We pledge that our core values will not waiver and we will treat each customer as a valuable member of our family.
Since 1982, the agricultural industry has made great strides. Equipment has become larger, more sophisticated and more productive, allowing farmers to grow and prosper. With the introduction of precision-guidance technology, farmers plant and harvest their crops with greater accuracy and reduced expense.
J D Equipment has invested in the people and technology to support the innovations in agriculture. We actively support agriculture and agricultural education in the communities we serve.
We also want to thank the employees who have dedicated many hours of their lives to supporting our company, customers, and the community that supports it. We are fortunate to have many employees who have been with us for many years, and a special thanks goes out to Mark Philips, Tim Kronk, Ralph Lininger, Doug Mitchell, Karla Mitchell, Tim Alexander, Dave Siegesmund and Steve Barney who have been with us for over 20 years. We are also thankful to the consumers we have served in our communities. We are committed to supporting them by selling and servicing the right equipment to meet their needs.
We also want to thank all of our suppliers, most notably the John Deere Company for manufacturing innovative equipment which advances the world of agriculture. We are grateful for the wonderful relationships we have developed with all manufacturers over the past 30 years.
Finally, we are thankful for the United States of America and our veterans who have served our country as well as the state and local public servants who work tirelessly to protect and serve our communities. We owe a debt of gratitude to all who have sacrificed so that we may live in peace.
We look forward to the next 30 years at J D Equipment. Our goal is not to be the biggest but to remain the best at what we do. We will continue to invest in our people and technology to ensure we continue “serving you for future.”
With your continued support, we are certain the next 30 years will be even better than our first 30!
Sincerely,
The owners of J D Equipment, Inc.
Jeff Mitchell (CEO) and Don K. Mitchell (President)
