35Grove City Area Chamber Community Guide Vol. VI 2015-2017 remainder being lawn and garden equipment. If youre unsure of what a combine or a forage harvester is then chances are youve never lived on a farm. Lefrancois on the other hand will tell you hes been farming his entire life. Early on he worked on a farm in Cape Cod Massachusetts and then later in life he owned his own dairy farm. My experience helps me understand the needs and wants of my customers said Lefrancois. It would be difficult for me to see things from their side of the fence if Id never been there. Each farmer is unique said Lefrancois and so are his needs. Whether they work a large corporate farm or a small family farm along with another full time job they all face similar issues. At the top of the list of challenges are Mother Nature which is impossible to manage and keeping up with modern technology in order to stay competitive and thats where Lamb Webster comes in. Lefrancois appreciates that Lamb Webster is as much a consulting service to farmers as it is an implementation dealer. Sometimes customers have a particular piece of equipment in mind but we can suggest another option that might better suit their needs he said which can save them money in the long run. Considering a large piece of farm equipment can cost upwards of half a million dollars making the most informed purchase is pretty important. Lefrancois says there is a huge trust factor in his line of work. Our customers have to feel comfortable with us in order to spend that kind of money here he said. Lamb Webster can help with financing for such costly purchases through CNH Industrial Capital to help ease the financial burden on customers. Certified technicians service everything they selland even items that were purchased elsewhere. Customers Since opening in Grove City five years ago this location of the regions largest farm and lawn care implement company has grown rapidly and owner partner Bob Lefrancois attributes their success to two important factors. We are in a great location just off of I-80 and we are a full service company that isnt here just to sell equipment he said. About 75 percent of their business is farm machinery with the can bring their equipment into the store for repairs arrangements can be made to pick it up or on-site service is available anywhere within a 2-hour radius of the store. Farmers cannot afford down time said Lefrancois. We do all we can to keep them running. Todays farm implementation is a far cry from what earlier generations used to work their fields. The larger tractors are equipped with GPS that measures moisture in the soil area covered and other statistics said Lefrancois. They even auto steer so an operator can essentially go for a ride while the tractor does all the work. Lamb Webster offers a variety of job opportunities in parts sales and service. Younger technologically savvy candidates are especially in demand considering the high tech equipment the company is selling and servicing. When Lamb Webster a New York based company was considering locations to expand western Pennsylvania was an ideal choice due to its proximity to Ohio. About 50 percent of our business comes from across the state line said Lefrancois. Another large customer base is in Pittsburgh. At first they think we are too far away but once they hear we are located directly off Route 80 they totally change their minds. Along with plows hay equipment tractors and lawn and garden equipment Lamb Webster carries apparel pedal and power tractors for children and a large selection of toy farm equipment for kids and collectors.
