Deere completes global rollout of new website design

Nov 30, 2017

John Deere has completed its global rollout of a new company website that places those who shop for and own John Deere equipment as the number one priority for information offered on its pages. The site design is mobile responsive and works on a variety of screen sizes, from smart phones and tablets to traditional desktop computers.

“Our customers are often on work sites, farms, and other locations when they need information quickly about products and services offered by John Deere,” said Sean O’Hanlon, director, Global Internet Strategy, Deere & Company. “We worked extensively with customers to create a new website that meets their needs.”

O’Hanlon said the improved JohnDeere.com contains:

Concise product information and easy-to-use navigation.
More useful tools for those who shop for and own Deere products and services.
A product-centric focus on helping users accomplish key activities such as identifying the right machine for their use or locating a dealer.
Easy spec-to-spec comparisons across John Deere and competitive models.

“This redesign benefits all of our customers whether they are farmers, ranchers, construction contractors, landscapers, loggers and all others whose work is linked to the land,” O’Hanlon said. “Our customers want to quickly find the information they need, whether they are searching from their desk or from a jobsite.”

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.

It has rained in South America in the last 7 days, but both the American and European models agree that Central Brazil remains dry in the next 14-days!
