With the advent $4 bushels of corn, the
dealers are reporting increased sales of equipment. Even a guy in a recent Fortune mag article - said he could have sold more tractors if DEERE had them available. THEY WILL CLIMB UPWARD ON STRONG SALES due th...

I like DE because not only for its farm machinery that is in much demand, but also for a lesser known segment - its computer software.

Before I retired, I was a computer systems analyst for a major chicken and pig processor. I used DE's AGRIS soft...

Great compnay and even a minor play for the Global Warming trends. The reason is not as far fetched as it seems since the rise in Tempurature will first cause a boom in vegetation that will increase yeids for farmers and such. Later the warming will ...

The company is well-known as THE choice in farm equipment and considering the widespread interest in ethanol (corn derived fuel), I expect that this company will do quite well. Farmers buy something other than a John Deere only when they have to. Fur...

Good company, way too pricey. It's up almost 50% since late summer 2006. DE has gone up over 15% since early Jan when it was in the low 90's on no news with exception to an unsubstantiated upgrade. Price gains on low volume trading days indicate trou...

My brother in law is a farmer and wants to buy a
