Farm implement dealers, distributors and dealer/distributors in Ontario

This dataset contains a list of registered farm implement dealers, distributors and dealer/distributors in Ontario. Dealers offer farm implements or replacement parts for sale to the public while distributors sell, consign, or deliver farm implements or replacement parts to a dealer. Dealer/distributors carry out the function of both dealers and distributors. These dealers, distributors and dealer/distributors hold a valid registration under the Farm Implements Act, 1990 from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA). The purpose of the Farm Implements Act is to improve farm machinery safety and to protect the large investments that farmers and dealers make in farm machinery. OMAFA encourages farmers and dealers to exercise caution before making investments in farm implements with a dealer or distributor who is not registered or located in Ontario. Registrations are renewed annually (expire December 31), and the list is updated annually. This list is maintained by OMAFA and includes company names, contact names and addresses.
