Agriculture is a sector of the American economy that has been impacted heavily by the U.S.-China trade war, but AGCO has been able to avoid a lot of those side effects, CEO Martin Richenhagen told CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Wednesday.

“This is the advantage and that is by purpose. We always wanted to be globally diverse,” he said.
