PROFILE |
 |
Deere & Company's customers go to seed -- at least once a year. The company is one of the world's two largest makers of farm equipment (CNH Global is the other). Deere also is a leading producer of industrial, forestry, and lawn-care equipment. Its farm equipment includes tractors, tillers, harvesting machinery, and soil-preparation machinery. Deere's construction equipment includes backhoes and excavators. Deere also makes drivetrain components, diesel engines, chain saws, leaf blowers, and snowblowers. In addition, Deere provides financing and leasing services. Farm equipment accounts for more than 40% of sales. Although Deere markets its products globally, Canada and the US account for more than 75% of sales.
