Overview

You might say that Deere & Company enjoys having its customers going to seed. The company, one of the world's two largest makers of farm equipment (CNH Global is the other), is also a leading producer of construction, forestry, industrial, and lawn care equipment. It is famous for its "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" brand marketing campaign. While the global financial crisis dented the company's sales in commercial and consumer equipment, Deere's agricultural equipment sales continued strong and remained highly profitable. Deere makes 60% of its sales in North America.
