One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions
Over 190 years of industry experience
Founded in 1837 by the blacksmith John Deere, Deere & Company, and their signature green tractors, is one of the oldest manufacturing companies in the S&P 500. Deere is primarily known for its farming equipment - harvesters and combines - but has broadened its product portfolio with construction machinery, electric charging infrastructure, forest machines, snowmobiles, and software solutions, through an array of different brands.
Digitizing the farming industry
Like the rest of society, the farming industry is being digitized at a fast pace, with Deere leading the way through things like autonomous combines working 24/7 and crop surveillance technology leveraging machine learning to improve production.
One very interesting example of the software side of Deere’s business is their product See & Spray, which uses cameras and artificial intelligence to calculate the amount of herbicide needed on each plant:
“Our machine covers 2,100 square feet every single second. In that second, we cover and capture about 3 billion pixels. These are submillimeter pixels that allow us to see with high resolution every single plant. To process this, we need very, very fast processors as we compute a total of 330,000 billion operations every second.”
A track record of healthy growth and solid margin expansion
Deere has endured healthy growth and a solid margin expansion ever since the Great Financial Crisis, and the company expects this expansion to continue, as their current goal is to achieve 20 percent through-cycle margins by 2030. Competition-wise, Deere’s main competitors are Komatsu, CNH Industrial, and Caterpillar Inc.
