Re: AGSCO, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of AGSCO, Inc. (the "Company"), we hereby transmit electronically
for filing via EDGAR a request to withdraw the Company's Registration Statement
on Form 10, with exhibits, relating to the registration of the Company's common
stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has failed to reach
the minimum for the public offering of its common stock under Regulation A
adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has, therefore,
decided to terminate that offering. Accordingly, the Company has asked that its
Form 10 be withdrawn.
If you have any questions or comments concerning the filing or desire
additional information, please contact either the undersigned at (612) 371-3929
or Thomas Lovett at (612) 371-3270.
Very truly yours,
LINDQUIST & VENNUM p.l.l.p
