About Dealer Row Weekly

Dealer Row Weekly reads the day’s farm equipment dealer news so you do not have to. Each weekday an editor goes through announcements, filings, regulator notices and reporting from around the world, picks what matters to a dealership owner-operator, and writes it up in our own words. Every item says why it matters and links to whoever reported it first.

Every Monday morning the best of the week arrives in one email, The Dealer Row Digest. It is written for dealership owners, general managers, sales managers, service and parts managers, and the OEMs and lenders who sell through them.

Where we cover

Dealer economics cross the border every day, but the rules, the financing terms and the trade politics differ by province, state and country. Canada has its own section at /region/canada/, and every story says which side’s rules apply.

Who edits it

Dealer Row Weekly is edited and published by Christopher Ross, a Canadian web practitioner based in Fort Erie, Ontario, who runs thisismyurl.com. The editor is accountable for what runs here.

Because the publisher’s own business advertises on this site, we say so plainly: see interests we disclose.

How it works

We use software to help read and sort the day’s news and to check drafts against their sources. Every story is checked against its sources and against our written standards before it is published, and the checks it has to pass depend on what kind of story it is. We do not publish unchecked machine output.
