John Deere

Before the first pitch. Before the lights. Before the crowd. The game is built. It is built by the turf pros, grounds crews, landscapers, and landowners who prep the field, care for the grass, and show up early so others can play. That is why we're becoming the Official Tractor sponsor of Major League Baseball (MLB). “For nearly two centuries, John Deere has stood alongside the hard-working, dedicated people who care for the land and who build our communities,” said Jonathan Chase, head of our turf and utility equipment. “Now, through our partnership with MLB, we’re able to celebrate America’s favorite pastime, America’s favorite teams, America’s favorite players, and the people who show up every day to build and grow America.”

Farming isn’t just about crops or cattle. It’s about roots, resilience, and carrying something meaningful forward. Across the U.S., more young people are heading back to their family farms, bringing new ideas while staying grounded in the traditions they grew up with. Beth Lamp and Zachary Chambers are two of them. Beth and Zach are alumni of the National FFA Organization New Century Farmer program, a John Deere sponsored five‑day experience focused on leadership, personal growth, and getting the next generation ready to lead agriculture with purpose. Zach credits the conference for helping him set goals and build a mission statement for his operation, “We’re stewards of the land, and we have to feed a growing population on less land every year. That means always innovating.”

Our StarFire™ 7500 Receiver just won Greater North Dakota Chamber’s Coolest Thing Made in North Dakota! “Dedicated employees in Fargo proudly assemble the StarFire 7500, building technology that farmers and contractors depend on every day,” said Dan Dougherty our director, electronics manufacturing and OEM sales. “This recognition belongs to everyone who makes that possible—from the teams who design and build this product to the customers who put it to work.”

150 years. One iconic symbol.

Equipment uptime is critical for our customers. A missed window in the field or a delayed repair can quickly turn into lost productivity. That’s why we asked the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to provide clarity around repairs and emissions systems. And that clarity is now here. What does this mean? The EPA allows temporary overrides of certain emissions systems strictly for the purpose of completing repairs. Once the repair is finished, the system must be fully restored and operating as designed. Overall, this new clarity gives farmers and technicians more room to address issues without unnecessary downtime. At John Deere , our goal has been straightforward: give customers, dealers, and alternative service providers clear, compliant options to keep equipment running while meeting emissions requirements. We appreciate the EPA and the Administration’s leadership in helping make this happen. It’s a big win for our customers. Read more: https://lnkd.in/daJKjM2X
