  19. Use of Recycled Materials in Products 19

  20. Conservation Tillage Equipment "The single-disc fertilizer openers provide efficient fertilizer placement with minimal soil disturbance." — Grant Troop, Quarryville, Pa. "The pneumatic down pressure feature on my 1770NT planter easily adjusts from the tractor cab and provides more down pressure options than you will ever find that you need." — Kenneth Wisehart, Shirley, Ind. 20

  21. Precision Farming EquipmentJohn Deere Ag Management Solutions Precision Ag Solutions for Growers Worldwide • GreenStar AutoTrac • iTECPro Multiple precision Ag applications 21

  22. Nutrient Application Equipment and SolutionsJohn Deere Agri Services Turning information into insight and strategies that add value and strengthen businesses across the agri-food supply chain • OptiGro • Soil Information Systems 22

  23. Financial ServicesJohn Deere Wind Energy • Provide advice, debt and equity investment and the foundation for a successful project through: • Long-term, comprehensive project management services • Turbine supply • A stream-lined project approval process and technical support • Expertise in agriculture, financial services and wind energy technology 23

  24. Wind Climate benefits • A single turbine displaces 2700 tons of Carbon Dioxide annually • Current fleet of installed turbines in US • Avoid 19 million CO2 tons annually • Avoids burning 16 million tons of coal each year or 50 million Barrels of Oil • Avoids consumption of Water in fossil fuel generation • Avg. per person consumption for energy: 100,000 gallons of water 24

  27. One Farmer’s Sentiments on Wind Energy "I think it's one of the greatest things that ever happened. It's good for my pocketbook. It's good for the environment.” -- Chuck Goodman, retired farmer near Alta, Iowa; Has three wind turbines on his land 27

  28. We Solve: Summary • Fuel-efficient diesel engines • Use of renewable materials in products • Corn- and soy-based plastics for some combine and tractor components • Conservation tillage equipment: planters, air seeders, drills • Precision farming equipment: GreenStar AutoTrac and iTEC Pro • Nutrient application equipment and solutions: OptiGro and Soil Information System • Wind energy service provider 28

  29. Industry Perspective: We Solve • Technology Policies and Measures: • Renewables - use / research / standards • Emission Offsets: • Ensuring robust and reliable participation by agricultural and forestry sectors in climate policies • Offsets should include a variety of options, e.g. soil, plant, forest sequestration, methane capture, renewable energy • Offsets must be verifiable • Development of a single, nationwide standard for verifying and accounting for agriculture and forestry offsets is needed 29
