It’s official! 9-year-old farmer and social media superstar Jackson Laux joins John Deere as our Chief Tractor Kid (CTK)! You might know him as internet personality @justajacksonthing, who could give any seasoned farmer or tractor expert a run for their money. As our CTK, Jackson's ready to roll up his flannel sleeves to share his love for agriculture…and perhaps a few tractor facts along the way. "I want to show other kids my age why they should get into farming too," says Jackson. Jackson will team up with our Chief Tractor Officer, Rex Curtiss, to begin sharing stories on TikTok. Follow along and check out Jackson’s story: https://spr.ly/6045sv387

Bill Nye "The Science Guy" on a... farm?!? That's right! Bill Nye visited the Feikema family farm in Minnesota to dive into the world of renewable fuels. Nye was impressed by the Feikemas' commitment to sustainable farming practices, discovering how they team up with local plants to process much of their corn and soybeans for fuel. He also learned how many airlines, including Delta, are looking to sustainable aviation fuel to reduce carbon emissions. "The Furrow" recaps Nye's visit: https://spr.ly/6049soIq5

We asked our employees to share their favorite Deere hat pics. And wow, the photos and stories were absolutely heartwarming and inspiring. From hats that have traveled the globe to those passed down through generations, each photo highlighted the common thread (pun intended) we all share: our dedication to supporting our customers.

Meet Gage Quiett and Germán A. Ortiz, two veterans who have transitioned into civilian careers with our team. Gage served in the Marines before joining our dealership program. Now a technician at Ag Power in Missouri, he applies his problem-solving expertise he developed in the military to make sure our farmers face no downtime. Germán, a seasoned Air Force veteran, navigated his transition through the DoD-SkillBridge program, where he leveraged his finance skills. Today, he's not just thriving as a senior analyst at our Harvester Works factory but also guiding other veterans through their transitions. We're grateful for their service and willingness to share their stories: https://spr.ly/6040Sa388

I came across something recently that really stuck with me. Most firefighters in the U.S. are volunteers. That means these incredible individuals save lives and respond to emergencies, often in the middle of the night, driven not by a paycheck but by a genuine dedication to their community and neighbors. However, I also learned that many of these volunteers are aging, and there aren't enough new recruits to take their place. This could result in longer response times—sometimes over 30 minutes—which is a concern for all of us. Our customers, dealers, and employees rely on these volunteer first responders during emergencies. That's why I'm excited to share that John Deere has joined forces with the National Volunteer Fire Council, Hold Fast Features, and Vignette to create the documentary called 'Odd Hours, No Pay, Cool Hat.' The goal of the film is to highlight the incredible contributions of volunteer firefighters and inspire more people to step up and continue this vital service. I hope the film resonates with you as much as it does with me. You can watch it on public television now until October 29. It’s also available to rent or buy: https://lnkd.in/g3BG7ZdU

No driver? No problem. Our autonomous tractors do the work without needing a driver. They help farmers get the job done when there aren't enough helping hands during busy times. Plus, no downtime! These tractors can operate 24/7, while farmers monitor their activity from a mobile device. "There's something almost video game-ish about that," explained Jahmy Hindman. "It's the ability to see what your machine is doing in your field in real time."

Tiny tractor, big talent! Mylyn Nguyen just raised the bar for precision art.
