ON TRACK FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS
Although John Deere faces challenging conditions in 2015,
we rmly believe the company is on track for long-term growth
and success. Thanks to the tireless efforts of employees,
dealers, and suppliers everywhere, our plans for helping meet
the world’s need for advanced equipment and solutions are
making steady gains and providing value to customers every day.
At the same time, we’re condent our actions to develop
a more durable business model will help the company deliver
solid results in today’s sluggish farm economy.
For these reasons, we are proud to reafrm our faith in the
company’s present course and in our ability to demonstrate
strong, sustainable performance well into the future.
To all who share our passion for seizing the great opportunities
that lie ahead and for helping people live better lives through
our commitment to those linked to the land, we express our
thanks for your continued support.
On behalf of the John Deere team,
Samuel R. Allen
