John Deere

One thing I've learned from talking with farmers over the years is that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to equipment repair.   Some rely on their John Deere dealer. Some work with other independent service providers. Others prefer to tackle repairs themselves. What they all value is having options.   That's why John Deere launched John Deere Operations Center™ PRO Service a year ago, expanding access to advanced self-repair capabilities like software reprogramming, calibrations, and interactive diagnostics.   And it’s delivering results.   Thousands of John Deere customers are already using it including nearly a thousand active daily users.   To me, that level of adoption reinforces something we've heard from customers for years: having access to the right tools and information gives them greater flexibility and control over how they keep their operation running.   More info: https://lnkd.in/gDjxefdW

New John Deere x Lodge Cast Iron skillet. Ready for decades of seasoning and a lifetime of stories.

Most 6-year-olds dream about superheroes, theme parks, or meeting their favorite athletes. For Collin, it was tractors. His dream brought him and his family from upstate New York to Waterloo, Iowa, where he spent the day as a "Supervisor for a Day" through Make-A-Wish Central New York and Make-A-Wish Iowa. As a supervisor, he launched a robot and stamped tractors with his own "Collin Approved" seal. But Collin's story started long before his visit. His grandparents once owned a farm, and some of his earliest memories were tied to tractors. Since then, his interest in tractors has grown into something much bigger. From toys and collectibles to learning everything he can about the machines, Collin has become one of John Deere's biggest fans. As his mom says, "If John Deere makes it, he probably has it."

Yesterday John Deere announced that it has been named the presenting sponsor of the 2026 MLB at Field of Dreams game on August 13 in Dyersville, Iowa. Field of Dreams is a celebration that brings together baseball, agriculture, and the communities that help feed the world.   This event is about more than baseball. It honors the hard work, resilience and deep connection to the land that defines rural America, values that have shaped generations of farmers and continue to inspire the work we do at John Deere.   What makes this sponsorship especially meaningful is the impact beyond the game. Through our collaboration with Major League Baseball (MLB), MLB Together, River Bend Food Bank, and Feeding America, John Deere employees, dealers and customers will help pack approximately 12,000 meals for families across Iowa. The John Deere Foundation will also donate one million meals to communities nationwide through Big Hits. Bigger Impact.   This is what community looks like in action: honoring the people who work the land, celebrate America’s pastime, and make a meaningful difference for families.   https://lnkd.in/grAiEQdn

Some legacies are written in history books. Others are painted across factory walls. A new mural at John Deere Horicon Works brings decades of innovation and U.S. manufacturing to life, celebrating the craftsmanship behind our Gator™ utility vehicles, mowers, lawn tractors, and other products built at the factory over the years. Hand-painted by local artist James Barany, a professor at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, the artwork shows the evolution of Horicon Works and the products that have helped shape our legacy. "Every product that leaves Horicon Works represents the pride and commitment of our employees," said David Will, factory manager. "This mural celebrates the generations of people who have helped shape our history and the impact they've had on customers, our company, and this community."

Not every home begins on a construction site. Some start on factory floors. Swipe to see how 1,200 employees helped transform wall panels into future Habitat homes across Iowa and the Quad Cities.

Then. ➡️ Now.

Some brands are part of people's lives for a moment. Others become part of a family story. It's the farm passed from generation to generation. The construction business built through hard work. The memories made along the way. That's why our history matters. As Jen Hartmann, our global director of corporate reputation and brand marketing, recently told Marketing Dive: “We know that our brand has a really emotional connection to a lot of people, and we want to be sure that as the world evolves in this technology space, we remind people our heritage has always been about innovation.” That connection is also why we're celebrating America's 250th anniversary with partners like Major League Baseball (MLB). Not just to look back at where we've been, but to celebrate the families, customers, and communities who have made us part of their legacy. Check out why Jen calls this the ultimate "apple-pie partnership":

“How can we do something big for our community. Like really BIG?” That was the question a year ago. Where we landed? A first-of-its-kind volunteer effort across the state of Iowa and Quad Cities. 1,200+ John Deere employees came together with Habitat for Humanity to help build homes for local families. Some volunteered on-site. Some built wall panels inside our facilities. Some helped at their local Habitat ReStores. “We wanted to create as many ways as possible for people to show up and help,” said Taryn Edgin, president of the John Deere Foundation. “The goal wasn’t just to give back. It was to build something real, together. Neighbors helping neighbors.”
