Deere & Co. has approved the proposed merger of two South Dakota based John Deere dealerships.
Gettysburg based C&B Operations, LLC, and Corsica based Noteboom Implement, LLC, will do business as C & B Operations, LLC, in the three store locations in South Dakota (Corsica, Chamberlain and Parkston) and five store locations in Iowa (Sibley, Lake Park, Spencer, Storm Lake and Ida Grove). C & B plans to retain the current Noteboom employees as part of the merger. The change is effective immediately.
C & B CEO Matt Cronin says this merger brings two reputable companies with strong family values together to better serve customers across the six states they operate in. Both companies are made up of experienced and knowledgeable teams focused on supporting customers in improving agriculture production.
Earlier this year, C & B finalized the acquisition of four Montana dealership stores from Farm Equipment Sales (Circle, Culbertson, Plentywood and Glasgow). With the addition of the eight Noteboom Implement stores, C & B now owns 37 stores across six states (Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho).
C & B Operations, LLC is owned by the Cronin and Burwell families and began in 1988, when Dan Cronin and Rod Burwell purchased the John Deere dealership in Gettysburg, SD.
