Titan Application in Mitchell, SD is no stranger to the application equipment business—or the South Dakota Agri-Business Association. With deep roots going back to 1966, this company has grown and evolved through the decades to become a major force in ag application equipment and support services for ag retailers across the Midwest and beyond.

Originally founded as Ag Systems, the business quickly earned its reputation as North America's largest Case IH application equipment distributorship. In 2019, a merger with Heartland Ag expanded its reach and capabilities, forming Heartland Ag Systems and extending its distribution agreements across 17 states. That momentum continued in 2022, when Titan Machinery acquired the company, giving rise to what is now Titan Application.

Titan Application provides an impressive lineup of solutions tailored to meet the demanding needs of ag retailers. Their offerings include the full Case IH application product line—from self-propelled sprayers and fertilizer applicators to precision ag technology—as well as the RBR line of air and spinner spreaders and Vortex liquid systems. They also manufacture and sell their own short line under the Heartland Ag Systems brand, including fertilizer tenders, pull-type spreaders, liquid trailers and applicators, and NH3 wagons.

With more than 100 Titan Machinery locations worldwide—90+ of which are in the U.S.—this is a company with both scale and local impact. And its connection to SDABA runs deep. Team members have held leadership positions within the association for over a decade. Kelly Jorgenson, Territory Sales Manager for Northern SD, served on the SDABA board from 2010 to 2015, and his colleague Matt Ellens continued the tradition from 2016 to 2021, serving as board president in his final year.

Why stay involved? According to Titan Application, it’s simple: “There are many policies that can affect our day-to-day business, and SDABA acts as a collective voice for the industry. The association provides our members with resources and connections to enhance our business and stay informed about relevant issues on a local and state level.”

With over 25 years of SDABA membership and a legacy of leadership, Titan Application is a valued partner in advancing the ag industry—not only in South Dakota, but across the region.
