In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has included the interactive data file exhibit required by Regulation S-K Item 601 with the Amended S-4.

*            *             *            *            *

In preparing this response to the Staff’s comments, the Company acknowledges that:

 

   

should the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

   

the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

   

the Company may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal laws of the United States.

Please direct any further questions or comments you may have regarding the Amended S-4 to me at (770) 232-8276 or our counsel, W. Brinkley Dickerson, Jr. of Troutman Sanders LLP, at (404) 885-3822.

 

   Sincerely,   
   AGCO Corporation
