From the field… to the field.🌱⚾ John Deere has officially partnered with Major League Baseball as the Official Tractor of MLB, bringing together two iconic parts of American life.

“For nearly two centuries, John Deere has stood alongside the hard-working, dedicated people who care for the land and who build our communities,” said Jon Chase, John Deere’s head of turf and utility equipment. “Now, through our partnership with Major League Baseball, we’re able to celebrate America’s favorite pastime, America’s favorite teams, America’s favorite players, and the people who show up every day to build and grow America.”

It’s a great reminder that industries like agriculture, landscaping, and equipment manufacturing play a huge role in the places we live, work, and gather... even in America’s favorite pastime.
