HAPPENING NOW!! Deere CEO Drops BOMBSHELL After HUGE CRITICISM!!

[@RandyNelson-i7f]

As a laid off John Deere employee I have one thing to say to the CEO. Build cost effective equipment for your customers. The models you are building do not work with $4 corn. And enough of the DEI nonsense!

[@concernedpatriot.2221]

[@loum.4377]

[@MonkeyMind69]

"Shareholders" ...Deere isn't catering to customer's or employees, they are just numbers on a ledger. Deere's only concern is the shareholders. Like so many other companies, John Deere sold their soul for profit. Farmers and employees owe not one bit of loyalty.

[@loum.4377]

ok, let them pay the 25-50% mexican tax., if the $$ don't come in the stocks will be sold off. Let Deer do the thin ice dance.

I’m glad I bought a Kubota. The Deere ?? Particularly the Compact tractors have way too much plastic. I learned they have lawn tractors that have plastic transmissions that fail early, the replacement very expensive and just another plastic transmission that will fail soon too. When I looked at their compact tractors, I found them expensive and cheaply made. A went with Kubota and after 8yrs with the Kubota which at that time was cheaper and superior. And unlike Deere whose parts are made all over the world by a whole host of vendors. Kubota is 100 percent Kubota and no darned plastic! I hope Trump spanks their a”” , they got it coming for screwing Farmers!
