I suspect that farmers will never trust Deere again. I have a small Deere tractor, and I bought it in part because it was made mostly in the U.S. That is no longer true, so my decision might be different should I ever buy another.

Went out on Kubota and graded 500 ft of driveway, where kinetic had cut trench through our driveway, for the new optic fiber cables, and left a nice big speed "bump", right across our drive which "bounced" Marie everytime we went out drive; I kept saying I'm going to have to grade this, and finally did; now it;s smooth.
