John Deere Offers Financial Investment in Building Tomorrow’s Energy Resources


With more than 600 megawatts of production underway, John Deere has played an active financial role in supporting a number of wind energy projects. With 10 projects completed and more in the works, John Deere is quickly becoming a leader in wind investment.

John Deere and wind power may seem like an odd combination, but after looking deeper into the relationship, it certainly makes sense. The company is a true American symbol and is encouraging capital investment in an emerging marketplace. As a private investor, John Deere is ultimately creating jobs for Americans and lowering the cost of power — promoting responsible energy generation and economic growth.

The statement, "John Deere and wind power may seem like an odd combination..." brought a grin to the face of a former JD dealer who sold and serviced wind turbines along with tractors and combines, albeit a few decades ago. It was a time when fuel and energy costs were rising; the United States wanted to lessen its dependence on foreign oil; federal and state tax credits accelerated the development and sales of alternative energy sources; and the economy overall was struggling. History does repeat itself, even a mere 30 years later!
