Since the moment John Deere’s first polished-steel plow was created in 1837, the company has been developing agricultural equipment to simplify the crop production process for farmers around the world. John Deere combines have been an instrumental vehicle in assisting this process for over 90 years, giving farmers top of the line generational technology to thresh and harvest their crops, maximizing productivity day in and day out.

To meet the demands of producers seeking more accuracy while planting out in the field, John Deere has rolled out AutoPath™. This new precision ag application utilizes data collected from the first pass in the field to establish precise row guidance for the following field passes, regardless of the machine type or width of the equipment.

From combines to lawn tractors and everything in between, John Deere knows that quality equipment is the key to success in both small-scale and commercial operations. However, throughout the years, John Deere has not only proven itself to be a leader in innovation, but also one in sustainability and philanthropy. And despite the year posing several challenges, 2020 was no exception in this strive towards excellence.
