At the conclusion of the stage show tonight we heard from John Deere Senior Vice President, Agricultural Marketing – North America, Australia & Asia, Doug DeVries. Doug came out to thank the dealers who work directly with the customers.

I spoke to him as soon as the floor was opened to us to wander around and see the new equipment first hand. Doug says this is the widest range of products they’ve ever brought to the market at once. He says it covers all areas and types of customers and is the culmination of a lot of R&D work. He comments on the growth in precision agriculture and says they see no change in the continued growth in this category of equipment.
