Step into the vibrant world of Gooseneck Implement – where change is an exciting ride toward growth and progress. Today, we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on Maria Ness, who is making waves as our first woman General Manager in Gooseneck history. Join us in celebrating her incredible journey, passion for agriculture, and dedication to fostering meaningful relationships within the Mohall community.

Maria began her Gooseneck journey in 2015 as a Data Management Coordinator and Integrated Solutions Consultant in Kenmare. Fast forward, and her role evolved into an Operations Center Specialist. A standout moment? Her exclusive invitation to join the prestigious John Deere Integrated Solutions Dealer Advisory Group – a recognition of her expertise and testament to her commitment to Gooseneck Implement.

Agriculture isn’t just a career for Maria; it’s a way of life. Growing up on a farm, she was immersed in the world of farming from an early age. From hauling anhydrous tanks with her mom to driving equipment in the fields, agriculture is deeply ingrained in her. This background provides her with a unique understanding of the challenges our growers face. Having grown up on a farm, she brings a genuine sense of urgency to her role, understanding the small windows of opportunity farmers face during the season. Her commitment to supporting growers reflects the heart of Gooseneck’s values – genuine passion and genuine gratitude.

Transitioning into the role of General Manager means Maria will be interacting with customers regularly. Her approach, honed during her time as Operations Center Specialist, involves active listening and providing tailored solutions. Recognizing that every farmer’s operation is unique, she understands the importance of adapting to their individual needs.

What sets Gooseneck apart from other John Deere dealers? According to Maria, it’s the sense of family. Gooseneck goes beyond being a team; it genuinely cares about its employees, their families, and their goals. This unique culture fosters a supportive environment that encourages personal and professional growth.

Now, as the General Manager in Mohall, Maria is excited to engage with the community. Recognizing the value of local heroes, including members of the fire department and first responders, she aims to continue supporting and recognizing their contributions. In her eyes, a safe community is a strong community.

Gooseneck Implement has not only found a dedicated and experienced leader in Maria, but also a leader who is breaking barriers and making history as the first woman General Manager. We look forward to witnessing her continued success and the positive impact she’ll undoubtedly make in the Mohall store and community. Cheers to Maria Ness – a true inspiration at Gooseneck Implement!
