Before closing the curtain on Harvest 2015, we thought this was a great opportunity to take a step back and admire all of the hard work that went into the season. To honor all of the dedicated farmers around the world and their many accomplishments this harvesting season, we’ve put together a photo gallery featuring some of the most memorable moments on the field. Enjoy!

Over the years, many improvements in technology and design were made to John Deere 9000 Series combines. These changes include everything from increased engine power to added grain handling options, and were incorporated to provide farmers with full harvesting capabilities.

We thought it would be interesting to take a trip down memory lane, and explore the key model changes that were made to John Deere 9000 series combines, which have led us to current combines on the market. Let’s take a look at the complete transformation that took place from 1990 to 2005.

1990-1993 Model Changes

Growers around the country, and world, have been preparing for Harvest 2014 essentially all year, dedicating all of their time and energy to producing the best quality crop. Their ambition to spend countless long days on the field, sun up to sun down, is admirable. Whether it be cotton, wheat, corn, cucumbers or other crop, farmers and growers work each day on a mission to provide food for the community. Wouldn’t you have to agree that these rare people deserve to be recognized for their impact on the world? Well, now is a perfect time to do so.

This year, John Deere has reached a major milestone, celebrating 50 successful years in the self-propelled windrower business at its Ottumwa Works factory. It all began in 1964, when John Deere entered this market with the introduction of the 200A and 215A models. John Deere windrowers continue to expand this rich history with innovative developments and top notch technology.

We’ve put together a photo gallery to admire the success of John Deere windrowers and the many noble contributions they have made in the agriculture industry over the years. Risk getting swept off your feet by taking a moment to appreciate these 15 windrower images!

Last week, we featured part one of a two part series to address all of your hay and forage questions. In part one, we learned some fundamental concepts to help you this harvesting season. Today, we will continue tackling other hay and forage concerns by taking a deeper look into the 9 series round baler. This will surely send you on your way to producing the best possible quality crop this season. Let’s get right into solving your haying dilemmas.

Farming is definitely a unique job. However, it is similar to any other in the sense that farmers need work clothes too.  Although their work apparel might not be the traditional suit and tie, farming clothes are much more exciting to pick out.

As we continue into the month of July, we can anticipate farmers spending many more long days on the field aboard their agriculture equipment. In an effort to help farmers better plan their work attire, we’ve put together a John Deere-themed assortment of farming clothes. Let’s take a look at some of our top picks.

Unfortunately, we can’t always rely on the weather but we should be able to rely on our equipment. During cotton harvesting season, growers often feel like they are in a race against the elements. The stress of producing more in less time can become overwhelming, but the John Deere CS690 Cotton Stripper aims to eliminate this concern without sacrificing the quality of crop.

The innovative John Deere CS690 Cotton Stripper has several features that will lead to increased harvest efficiency and reduced downtime in the field. Let’s dive into five key components of the CS690 that help increase productivity even when harvesting in the most challenging conditions.

As the summertime air slowly moves out and fall creeps in, the nation’s corn farmers prepare for their annual fall corn harvest, with big yields on their minds. Typical corn harvest dates vary across the country based on a number of factors, however, the Corn Belt (the majority producer of our nation’s corn), typically prepares to begin the fall harvest sometime in September.

The fall corn harvest seems to typically last an average of 2 months, however, this number also varies (as seen by Texas’ three and a half month harvest). So, whether you’re about to fire up the combine and grain cart, or you’re simply interested in learning when our nation’s farmers hit the field to harvest corn for grain, we hope this map serves as a helpful resource, enjoy!
