This award is sponsored by ARA and Monsanto, and is a recognized symbol of quality and prestige ?Çô the emblem of the very best in the industry. The award was given during the ARA Annual Conference & Exposition, Dec. 5 in Las Vegas. “Landmark has a reputation for consistently outperforming their competitors, while exceeding their customers’ expectations, and is viewed as the premier agricultural dealership in the Midwest,” said Bob Willard, chairman of the ARA board, and president of Willard Agri-Service.
