After facing the coldest April in years, farmers across the country have been anxious to prepare their fields and start their growing season. For many, it has felt like the snow and freezing temperatures were never going to end but, thankfully, the wait is over. As the sun shines brighter and temperatures continue to rise, our fans are finally able to put their John Deere planting equipment to use.
We searched across Twitter for images and videos that we felt best represented how John Deere planting equipment helps make the transition into the planting season seamless, no matter how long the wait. We wanted to recognize those who took the time to capture these images and videos in order to showcase what this equipment can really do.
Take a look at our Twitter fan media gallery. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Exceptional day #Plant18 pic.twitter.com/uYzb8y75n6
