Page 28 2023 Fall Farm Outlook Lincoln Daily News Oct 2023 In addition to the fun, carefree atmosphere of the office staff at AHW in New Holland, there is a real sense of community support and presence. The AHW staff will give tours of the facility when requested by organizations such as Cub Scouts and 4H students and sponsor FFA chapters during the fairs in all four counties. For kids interested in a career in agriculture mechanics, AHW partners with Lakeland Community College in Mattoon. In this twoyear associate degree program they will have hands-on training and during the winter, spring, and summer breaks, they work with the sponsoring AHW dealership as part of the class curriculum. The hope is that the student returns as a full-time employee after receiving their degree. Upon completion and with the passing of the John Deere certification exam, AHW will pay 100% of the college fees, minus the room and board charges plus five thousand dollars toward the purchase of startup tools for each student. AHW LLC is here for its customers and is here to stay in New Holland. The corporate office is not sitting still and wants to keep growing and expanding and supports ownership and service of large farm and garden equipment. With the investment in the facility, keeping the staff educated with new equipment and technology, the staff in the office, service department, parts area, and sales staff have dedicated themselves to each other, the company, the industry, and the community.
