John Deere Country Part 2: Stories About Folks Who Love John Deere
John Deere tractors are handed down from generation to generation. One of the reasons for this loyalty came during the depression when John Deere gave farmers extra time to pay for their equipment. The farmers stayed loyal and passed that loyalty to their sons. “My dad would never consider buying any other make of tractor,” says Hank Friday of La Porte, Indiana. “He bled green and yellow and passed that love to me. And I passed it to my son. We’re John Deere through and through and always will be.” That’s why at farm shows all over the country you see vintage John Deere tractors lovingly restored and proudly driven.
We toured the country and found John Deere owners who have stories to tell. This DVD tells their stories and shows the tractors they love. Includes archival footage of tractors and combines from the 1920s through the 1960s filmed when they were new.
This is a movie that everyone in the family will enjoy.
Running Time: 1 hour and 30 min.
