The Deere Smart Industrial strategy focuses on delivering intelligent, connected machines and applications that will revolutionize production systems in agriculture and construction, unlocking customer economic value across the lifecycle in ways that are more sustainable for all.

John Deere customers face increasing challenges that make their businesses more competitive and dynamic. Jill Sanchez, Manager, Sustainability and Investor Relations, said Deere will build on its track record by creating and delivering customer value through technological innovation, engineering and manufacturing excellence, and a world-class dealer channel, all of which uniquely position Deere to anticipate, address, and outpace these challenges better than anyone.

"We're pleased to announce our Leap Ambitions—the measures of our strategy," Sanchez said.
