Our Mission, Vision, and Values
Our mission, “For Earth, For Life,” speaks to our commitment to the preservation of the earth’s natural environment while aiding in production of food and water supplies that are vital to societal needs as our world population continues to grow. That mission is realized each time a Kubota tractor harvests the land to produce life sustaining food or our construction equipment excavates to transport water resources or provide shelter.
