In 1976, Deere & Company was among the world’s leaders of farm and industrial equipment. The majority of Deere’s success was attributed to the light crawler tractor market with over 50% market share. It was at that time Deere earned a reputation for manufacturing reliable small tractor equipment. Deere evolved into producing and manufacturing the larger industrial equipment in phases, beginning in small forestry operations. As farmers and smaller operators sought to diversify their businesses, Deere offered newly innovative attachments and crawlers, and was now seeking to integrate into the large tractor market in phase five. In this phase, Deere introduced the JD750 bulldozer, a heavy contracting

"It's the kind of company we are determined to become. Our goal is to build a business and an investment worthy of the quality products we make and the uncommonly dedicated people who make them." The growth of Deere & Company mirrors the growth of large-scale farming in the American Midwest but luckily, thanks to global expansion, the brand is not solely dependent on the declining US farming market. In the last ten years, Deere has built, acquired or formed joint ventures for on-site manufacturing in Germany, China, Brazil, India, South Africa, Finland, Sweden and Mexico. Meanwhile, Deere & Company hasn't abandoned its own community. The company contributed to the redevelopment of downtown Moline, Illinois, which had gone into a dilapidated period when manufacturers like Farmall, J.I. CASE, and Caterpiller went under or pulled out of the area in the recession of the 1980s, dealing a serious blow to the blue-collar work base of the Quad City area. Since the mid-90s, downtown Moline has begun a steady climb out of a decade of seediness and disrepair. With the help of Deere and its construction of the John Deere Commons and the John Deere Pavilion, which has an impressive display of antique farming equipment, an architectural and business renaissance of sorts has come to the downtown area along the river. One of the latest developments of Deere has been the creation

“Deere & Company began when John Deere, born in Rutland, Vermont, USA on February 7, 1804, moved to Grand Detour, Illinois in 1836 in order to escape bankruptcy in Vermont. Already an established blacksmith, Deere opened a 1,378 square feet shop in Grand Detour in 1837 which allowed him to serve as a general repairman in the village, as well as a manufacturer of small tools such as pitchforks and shovels.

When John Deere created the steel plow, the field of farming could work faster. The new work was also more efficient (Deere, 2006). Another reason about how he illuminated the world is that he was one of the first to design agricultural tools and machines to meet the specific needs of midwestern farmers (Deere, 1998). His change was big. “He made a change by playing one of the major roles in the transformation of America's wild lands into fertile, agriculturally productive farmlands (Deere, 1999).”

During the raw materials shortage, the company was able to go directly to its tier two suppliers, pay a premium for the critical raw materials, and transport them right to their own manufacturing facilities. This allowed the company to bypass several steps of our manufacturers’ distribution model. This put Sherwin-Williams in a unique position and many customers didn’t even notice the critical shortage (McConnell, M., personal interview, 2011, April 12).
