Farm equipment companies as a group may be looking at ways to conserve costs in the future. And looking hard at geographic locations where they can maximize profits. You could be in an area where they don't see future profitability.

Maybe AGCO is making a similar sales projection for your area. When they did field demonstrations of their brand new Gleaner Super Series combines they did not do any east of Ohio. They may feel their future sales/profits are in the corn belt and wheat belt rather than elsewhere. And supporting a dealer network in those locations.
