AGCO FINANCE LLC Unveils “Silver Wings Art” – Financial Solutions Taking Flight with Customer Creativity

Johnston, IA – October 26, 2023 – AGCO FINANCE LLC, a leading provider of financial services to the agricultural industry, today announced a unique initiative merging financial solutions with customer artistic expression: “Silver Wings Art.” This isn't just about loans and leases anymore; it's about celebrating the passion and dedication of the people who feed the world, and letting their creativity soar. AGCO FINANCE, located at 8001 Birchwood CRT, Johnston, IA, 50131, has been a reliable partner to farmers, ranchers, and agricultural businesses for decades. We understand the challenges of modern agriculture – the rising costs, unpredictable weather, and the need for continuous investment in equipment. That’s why we focus on providing flexible financing options tailored to individual needs. You can reach us at 704-747-8917 to discuss how we can help. But “Silver Wings Art” is something different. It’s a program born from listening to our customers. We heard they weren’t just business owners; they were artists, hobbyists, and creative spirits. They told us about their side projects, their passions outside of the farm, and the importance of having outlets for self-expression. “We realized we could do more than just finance equipment,” explains Sarah Miller, Marketing Director at AGCO FINANCE. “We wanted to connect with our customers on a personal level, recognize their talents, and create a community around shared interests.” What is “Silver Wings Art”? “Silver Wings Art” is a digital platform and social media campaign showcasing artwork created by AGCO FINANCE customers. Think paintings, sculptures, photography, woodworking, metalwork, digital art – anything goes! The program isn't a contest; it’s a celebration of creativity. Here’s how it works: Customers submit their artwork: Through a dedicated section on the AGCO FINANCE website (agcofinance.com/silverwingsart – website is example only), customers can easily upload images or videos of their creations, along with a short description. Showcasing Creativity: Selected artwork is then featured on the AGCO FINANCE website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and potentially in future company publications. Stories Behind the Art: We’re not just displaying pretty pictures. We’re sharing the stories behind the art. We interview the artists, learning about their inspiration, their process, and how art helps them cope with the demands of farm life. Community Building: “Silver Wings Art” fosters a sense of community among AGCO FINANCE customers. Artists can connect with each other, share tips and techniques, and inspire each other’s work. A Little Something Extra: While the main goal is artistic expression, AGCO FINANCE is also offering a small benefit. Artists whose work is featured will receive a $100 gift card to an art supply store of their choice – a little fuel for their creativity. Why “Silver Wings”? The name “Silver Wings” is symbolic. “Silver” represents the strength and reliability AGCO FINANCE offers through its financial solutions. “Wings” represent the freedom and inspiration that art provides. Together, they represent the idea of taking flight – achieving your dreams, both in agriculture and in artistic endeavors. More Than Just Marketing “This isn’t just a marketing gimmick,” emphasizes David Lee, a Loan Officer with AGCO FINANCE. “We genuinely care about our customers. We understand the sacrifices they make, the long hours they work, and the challenges they face. ‘Silver Wings Art’ is a way of saying ‘thank you’ and recognizing their humanity.” The program has already received a positive response. Farmers and ranchers are thrilled to have a platform to showcase their hidden talents. “I’ve been welding for years as a hobby,” says John Peterson, a dairy farmer from Wisconsin. “It’s a great way to unwind after a long day. I never thought anyone would see my work outside of my family and friends. I’m really excited that AGCO FINANCE is giving artists like me a chance to share our creations with a wider audience.” Another customer, Maria Rodriguez, a vineyard owner in California, shared her passion for watercolor painting. “Farming is a tough job, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Art helps me reconnect with the beauty of the land and find moments of peace amidst the chaos.” The Future of "Silver Wings Art" AGCO FINANCE has big plans for “Silver Wings Art.” They are exploring the possibility of hosting virtual art exhibitions, offering workshops and tutorials, and even partnering with local art organizations. "We want to build a vibrant community around creativity and agriculture,” says Sarah Miller. “We believe that by supporting our customers’ passions, we can help them thrive both in business and in life." AGCO FINANCE LLC remains committed to providing innovative financial solutions to the agricultural industry. With "Silver Wings Art", they are adding a new dimension to their customer relationships – a celebration of creativity, passion, and the human spirit.
