I believe the last facility Agco had at the NI works in Coldwater, Ohio was a parts depot and I'm pretty certain that is also gone. Believe White maintained an office facility but had moved all manufacturing before it became Agco. Agco soon moved the office operation. Briefly considered going to NI after school, but before graduating we took a tour and I became convinced NI would struggle compared to it's larger competitors that I was considering and had previously seen. One classmate did become an employee and designed an improved floating cutterbar grain head. He might have been joking, but said they basically purchased the current production JD head and copied it. He only stayed a few years. Don't believe they ever gave him a salary increase and this was during the mid-late seventies when salaries were rapidly increasing due to inflation. Considered NI because the family used and I also liked the product. Furthermore it was within a 100 miles or so of the home farm, which would allow the desired weekend forays.
