This classic guide fills a significant gap in the history of Deere and Company, weaving its culture, products and mystique into the larger context of American history.

In 1837, a young Illinois blacksmith named John Deere made a revolutionary steel plow that literally broke the Great Plains. Today, John Deere and Company is a manufacturing colossus that straddles the globe. It is noted for its integrity and customer service as much as for its wide-ranging line of tractors, heavy equipment and implements.

With lively, expert text and hundreds of full-color images, John Deere: Yesterday and Today relates the whole Deere saga, from the beginnings to the present day. Tractors old and new, vintage advertisements, personalities, unique memorabilia and more tell the story of a company that is uniquely American.
