John Deere Action, Part 3

Overview

In this third entry of the series featuring John Deere machines doing what they do best, the focus is as much on education as it is on the fun of watching the big machines tractors, hay balers, cotton pickers, sprayers, and more at work. Viewers learn that the U.S. produces more food than any other country, with more corn grown than any other crop (followed by soybeans and wheat), occupying more than a billion acres from sea to shining sea. The program also points out that most young farmers are following the family tradition, and that about a third of those who till the soil today have attended college, which is not surprising, since modern agriculture requires knowledge of chemistry, weather, computers, and, of course, high-tech equipment.
