It has planned a number of museum displays, especially in
its home state of Iowa, but also at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington,
D.C.
“John
Deere is excited the Smithsonian has chosen to present one of Deere’s most
iconic tractors in the context of technological change in America,” said Neil
Dahlstrom, manager of corporate history and archives at John Deere.
“The
display provides an opportunity to educate the public about the importance of
agricultural innovation,” he said.
Deere
has been producing innovations in farm machinery for nearly two centuries, but
for the past 100 years, John Deere tractors have been the machines that best
portrayed agricultural productivity, the company said in a news release.
