Deere is the maker of John Deere tractors, combines and other farm and construction machines. It also sells parts and offers financing to farmers and dealers, and it has been adding precision technology such as GPS guided equipment.
It earns from selling machines through a dealer network, from parts and service, and from its financing arm, which lends to buyers. High tech features let it sell more valuable machines and software subscriptions.
Farm income, crop prices, interest rates and weather affect how much farmers spend on equipment. Machines are expensive, so buying slows when times are tough. Right to repair debates are a growing topic for the whole industry.
Why do crop prices matter?
Farmers buy more equipment when they earn more.
What is precision agriculture?
Using sensors and GPS to farm more efficiently.
Does Deere lend money?
Yes, through its financial services business.
