Many of you have wondered WHY I chose JD after testing all colors in the #combineshootout last fall. Its not always just about the best price or the best machine. The little things count. Salesman dropped these off unexpectedly at the shop this morning & made 2 little boys' day.

Or....could it be that the price of commodities havent changed relative to the cost of production. In the mid 80s we purchased 3 new N6 Gleaners. Cost? $79k each, with 24ft headers! Now, $500k for a new S780. Trade war isn't what's causing Deere's demise.
