Research Guidelines
We've tried to pack our Student Center with lots of information and links that we thought would be valuable to student researchers. However, if you're unable to locate the information you're seeking on this site, you might find what you need at the following links.
Our Press Center has links to John Deere publications, press releases, and speeches by our executives.
Our Citizenship Web site has information about our environmental stewardship, safety and philanthropy efforts.
Investor Relations – you'll find a lot of valuable financial information here.
We love people who want to know more about John Deere, and we love to help them get the information they're seeking. However, often students ask us for things we can't share, like information that's highly proprietary or unreasonably extensive. To avoid delays in your research review the list of information we are unable to provide:
-
Franchisee-applicant information, including franchise agreements, financials, etc. This information is available only to individuals formally accepted into the franchise application process -- and, by law, much of that information is proprietary.
-
Details about international license agreements, international expansion or operations. All publicly available information can be found on our Investor Relations Pages or Locations pages.
-
Information about pricing or pricing strategy.
-
Detailed information about operating plans, strategies, and budgets.
-
Manufacturing operations data, process strategies, inventory controls, lab data, etc.
-
Sales projections or any other financial projections. We're part of a publicly-held company, and by law, publicly-held companies aren't allowed to provide this information.
-
Participation in academic surveys, either oral or written.
-
Interviews with company employees. Certain employees might grant interviews with members of the media, but we can't comply with the numerous requests from students.
Good luck with your research. Thank you for your interest in John Deere.
