19 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 19 Use of Recycled Materials in Products

20 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 20 "The pneumatic down pressure feature on my 1770NT planter easily adjusts from the tractor cab and provides more down pressure options than you will ever find that you need." — Kenneth Wisehart, Shirley, Ind. "The single-disc fertilizer openers provide efficient fertilizer placement with minimal soil disturbance." — Grant Troop, Quarryville, Pa. Conservation Tillage Equipment

21 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 21 Precision Farming Equipment John Deere Ag Management Solutions GreenStar AutoTrac iTECPro Multiple precision Ag applications Precision Ag Solutions for Growers Worldwide

22 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 22 Nutrient Application Equipment and Solutions John Deere Agri Services Turning information into insight and strategies that add value and strengthen businesses across the agri-food supply chain OptiGro Soil Information Systems

23 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 23 Financial Services John Deere Wind Energy Provide advice, debt and equity investment and the foundation for a successful project through: Long-term, comprehensive project management services Turbine supply A stream-lined project approval process and technical support Expertise in agriculture, financial services and wind energy technology

24 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 24 Wind Climate benefits A single turbine displaces 2700 tons of Carbon Dioxide annually Current fleet of installed turbines in US Avoid 19 million CO2 tons annually Avoids burning 16 million tons of coal each year or 50 million Barrels of Oil Avoids consumption of Water in fossil fuel generation Avg. per person consumption for energy: 100,000 gallons of water

25 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 25 Project Locations 17 April 2007 = Operating = In Construction = Planned (Approved) (75.2 MW) (228.5 MW) (233.15 MW)

26 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 26 JD Wind 3

27 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 27 One Farmer’s Sentiments on Wind Energy "I think it's one of the greatest things that ever happened. It's good for my pocketbook. It's good for the environment.” -- Chuck Goodman, retired farmer near Alta, Iowa; Has three wind turbines on his land

28 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 28 We Solve: Summary Fuel-efficient diesel engines Use of renewable materials in products Corn- and soy-based plastics for some combine and tractor components Conservation tillage equipment: planters, air seeders, drills Precision farming equipment: GreenStar AutoTrac and iTEC Pro Nutrient application equipment and solutions: OptiGro and Soil Information System Wind energy service provider

29 INTEGRITY QUALITY COMMITMENT INNOVATION 29 Industry Perspective: We Solve Technology Policies and Measures: Renewables - use / research / standards Emission Offsets: Ensuring robust and reliable participation by agricultural and forestry sectors in climate policies Offsets should include a variety of options, e.g. soil, plant, forest sequestration, methane capture, renewable energy Offsets must be verifiable Development of a single, nationwide standard for verifying and accounting for agriculture and forestry offsets is needed
