John Deere Combine Can Sculpture Revealed
Well, John Deere has finished the sculpture for Project “Can Do.” This farm scene with an S-Series combine harvesting a field of corn needed approximately 323,000 cans of food to complete. The finalized sculpture was revealed at an event today at the John Deere Pavilion.
I spoke with Katie Dierker, Division Marketing Manager for the S-Series combines. Katie says the right model S-Series combine can harvest enough wheat in a day to make 1 million loaves of bread or when it comes to corn, it can go through the equivalent of 30 football field in an hour or 350 acres per day. That sounds like big productivity!

Post Update: Here’s a time lapse video of the sculpture being built. Pretty cool video.
In this week's program you can listen in to my conversation with Bill Howard, Fastline, about their new mobile game app, AgRacer.

What a great project and to donate the cans later is great! John Deere always seems to “do it up right”.
