Deere Expects Midwest Flooding To Have Minimal Impact On Projected Credit Operations’ Net Income

MOLINE, Illinois .— Deere & Company said that, at this time, recent flooding in the central U.S. is expected to have only a minimal impact on the company’s worldwide credit operations’ projected net income. This statement is based on an initial assessment by outside consultants of Deere’s crop insurance program and is a result of both the effective use of various risk mitigation strategies, including public and private reinsurance and geographic diversification, as well as farmers’ ability to plant and replant.
