Come on..thats a fake story. It was making its way around the net a few years ago. John deere even weighed in on it. All fake. Please check sources before spreading this junk.
Additionally, while we were told that the company does have some long-term business goals that involve offering a line of small electric tractors and other compact equipment by 2026, large tractors and combines for farms are not part of these plans.
John Deere Responds
We reached out to a company spokesperson for John Deere to ask about the viral post. By email, they told us, “John Deere does not have a partner farm program.” They also said that they “never called farmers to ask that they switch to electric tractors by 2023.” Perhaps most important, the spokesperson said that the company “has no plans for battery operated/electric large tractors and combines.” In other words, the viral story appeared to not even be a possibility in reality.Additionally, while we were told that the company does have some long-term business goals that involve offering a line of small electric tractors and other compact equipment by 2026, large tractors and combines for farms are not part of these plans.
