John Deere

I learned that the law requires all construction equipment to be painted yellow.  There were hosts and hostesses in all of the locations, who were retired John Deere employees.  Above is a picture of memorabilia collected over the last 100 years.  It is some "shadow box".  It was pretty and interesting to look at.  When we went to the John Deere Store, we learned that John Deere is almost a religion.  Farmers love John Deere.  During the depression, many farmers lost all of their money.  John Deere never repossessed a single piece of equipment.  They said, "We need the food you produce and you need what money you can earn.  Pay us what you can, when you can."  That was the beginning of an extreme loyalty.
