How RDO Supports Customers Through Advocacy

You rely on us for equipment, parts and service to keep you up and running. Another part of that commitment happens behind the scenes, where RDO Equipment Co. works with industry partners to advocate for policies that support growers and builders. 

Representing Your Interests 

Our team stays connected with organizations like the Association of Equipment Distributors, the Midwest Council on Agriculture and Western Growers Association. Together, we help policymakers understand how proposed changes affect the people who rely on equipment every day. It’s not about politics; it’s about making sure the needs of our customers are represented. 

Key Policy Areas We Track 

The issues we follow most closely focus on long-term stability for the industries we serve. Some of these include: 

• Tax policies that encourage equipment investment, such as bonus depreciation, Section 179 expensing and income deductions for pass-through businesses
• Estate and gift tax provisions that help family operations plan for the future
• Farm program updates that support risk management 
• Trade and tariff discussions that influence the cost and availability of key supplies 

Why This Work Matters 

We track these topics because they shape your ability to plan, invest and run your business with confidence. When we engage in advocacy, we bring a practical, real-world perspective to the conversation so the outcomes support the people doing the work. 

Standing With Customers, On and Off the Job 

Advocacy is just one more way RDO stands with customers. Whether it’s in the field, on the job site or in the policy conversations that influence your business, we’re committed to supporting your success.
