John Deere Sponsorships Build Close Relationships
John Deere's national sponsored program provides financial support to selected national non-profit organizations or events which will benefit or promote the company and its products. John Deere has built long-standing relationships with many organizations through corporate sponsorships, such as National FFA, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the National 4-H Council, the U.S. Jaycees Outstanding Young Farmer program, Skills U.S.A., and Minorities in Agriculture, National Resources and other related Sciences, or MANRRS.
John Deere is one of the largest and longest continuous sponsors of National FFA, supporting the organization for over 60 years. The company sponsors National FFA programs including LifeKnowledge, Collegiate Team Ag Education, the Turfgrass Management Proficiency Award, the Forest Management Proficiency Award, the Farm Business Management Career Development Event and the PAS Ornamental Horticulture Specialist Award.
The U.S. Jaycees Outstanding Young Farmers has been sponsored by John Deere for over 30 years. The program recognizes some of the most prominent young farmers in the United States each year. The purpose of the program is to foster better urban and rural relations, and show appreciation to young farmers for their contributions and achievements in their profession and their communities.
