American Implement recently participated in a John Deere national program called “Tech of the Year.” This program is aimed to recognize and highlight passionate technicians from across North America.

American Implement currently employees approximately 120 technicians throughout their 16 locations throughout Western Kansas and Southeast Colorado ranging in specialties and experience levels. The Service Team is rounded out by Service Admins/Writers, Service Managers and supporting specialist roles helping to maximize customer service and efficiency.

The John Deere Tech of the Year Program has several technician qualification standards to be nominated. American Implement was proud that several of their high preforming technicians were eligible and this year, Joe Beltz of Hugoton, was chosen to represent American Implement in this program.

The program had approximately 160 dealership nominees. Ninety-eight territory winners, then 12 divisional winners were selected through a blind, peer-dealership and John Deere field team review process based on how their passion for their customers, their peers, their communities, and their careers were portrayed through the submission.

Joe was the local Territory and then the Divisional Winner, representing a four-state area, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. He will travel to the John Deere World Headquarters in Moline, Il., to be recognized for his accomplishments. Joe felt humbled to be able to represent American Implement in this program and while this award speaks volumes of his career and skillsets, he refers to himself as just an, “Average Joe.”

American Implement is now “three for three,” having Divisional Champions in the John Deere Tech of the Year Award Program and currently is the only dealership to have multiple Divisional Champions in North America.
