John Deere Photo Library
Doing a story on farming or tractors? Need a good quality photo? John Deere has help in the mail.
I just got my John Deere Photo Library Volume Seven.
Here’s a new way to send out your photos. In the box was a folded up cut out tractor with tiny magnets holding different parts together. Inside was a John Deere USB memory stick containing the photos listed in the printed catalog. The memory stick contains programming to allow you to easily browse the photos by category in a browser too.
There are a lot of photos available including scenic shots in addition to pure product photos. Seems like a good way to provide journalist (yeah, that includes bloggers!) with complimentary content and in a useful format.
What do you think about this idea?
In this week's program Chuck talks with Mike Adams, AgriTalk.

Loved the paper tractor format and very much appreciate the photos.

INCREDIBLE. Wow, I’m yet to study the structure of it and how complex the design is. Think it will go up on the shelf for a conversation piece? Well, yes, why do you think they did it? Tractor business is going well….

Without a doubt, one of the coolest promotions I’ve ever received. Luckily, the box included an inspection sheet with what I think is the name of the production company…and that went into my contact file.
Susan
Cool, yes, but I’ve also heard many who received it talking about a colossal waste of money.

I’m a production person/graphic artist. I do ads for The Prairie Star, Farm and Ranch Guide and the Minnesota Farm Guide. We received 3 of those paper tractors at our office, you would think they would go to the production staff, becuz of the photos we can use for our implement dealer ads… but nooooo…. management all got them. I would like one for my Dad’s 70th bday next week. He’s been collecting toy JD tractors all his life. A farm kid himself from North Dakota. The youngest son, so he didn’t get the farm. Can anyone help me? Thank you so much from Bismarck, ND.
