John Deere has already alienated farmers and rancher with their software driven equipment. You can't even change a broken belt on your $500000 machine without paying a Deere dealer to come clear the code so it will operate. Extortion.

Which is exactly why we lease most of our equipment now. We had a def sensor go bad a few weeks back. The way Deere has the software set, the damned tractor will eventually barely move if you don’t have someone come out and reset.

Total BS

This seems like good stuff to me. The Black Farmers that I know, and The guys that are in the logging business, and the trucking business, They're no different from me. The problem is, we have too few like them. We need to be encouraging more.
I'm fine with your thoughts as long as they give proportionally the same amount to mostly white colleges.

And how about American Indian, Asian, etc.?

As the son of a farmer and the brother of a farmer, I have no problem with black mailing farmers. They are the world’s biggest welfare queens and it’s just the redistribution of an insignificant amount of gubment money. Plus the only thing that makes JD better than Case or New Holland is that JD has a more comfortable seat.

I imagine that they do. It's all tax write offs that can also help promote the brand.

You know, people who want to manipulate us, for whatever reason, only tell one side of the story.

No one doing any real work buys Deere anymore. They’re for middle class mowers with under an acre.

I knew when Joe Diffie died in March John Deere was dead. That song should never be sung again.

Welfare queens...


I never knew any welfare queens clocking 14 hour days. I haven’t had a day off in a month.

Yea, lots of welfare queens are busting their asses like that.

F.U.!

Do you consider farming 5,200 acres, real work?

Some of you need to sit this one out. The fact that you own a 35 HP hobby tractor doesn’t make you qualified to speak about farming.

Husband is a farmer — we have green tractors. I just asked if we can now buy red ones.

Just come work with me for 90 days. And bring your welfare queens with you. I’ll find something for them to do as well. We’re growing 100 acres of hemp this summer also. Gonna need lots of manual labor.

They may have the hobby tractor market, but they also still own a majority of the Midwest Ag market. And it’s not even close.

The farmer telling others to bring the welfare queens.

Can’t make this stuff up.

That’s cool that you run a farm, bro. Was it hard learning how to push buttons in your air conditioned cabin?

Get your fat arse down off the tractor and quit begging for illegals to do the hard stuff.

What about the 3-4 months in the winter where work consists of duck hunting in the morning, the going by the FSA office to fill out paperwork to make sure that the gubment check for price stabilization, taxpayer subsidized crop insurance, and all the other payments that the gubment gives farmers arrives on time, followed by lunch paid for by a seed and chemical rep, and then followed by an afternoon deer hunt?

Of course they’re not. So why must they be treated any differently? As if they can’t succeed on their own merits.

My father was a farmer, I worked on the farm growing up, and my brother currently farms around 6,000 acres. So I would say that I am qualified and very confident in my assessment that my brother and every farmer of his size are bigger welfare queens than any nonworking single mother in the ghetto could ever hope to be.
