Default Re: IOWA FARMLAND in GRAVE danger

DE........

Deere is well-positioned to benefit from the surge in corn production -- driven by increased demand for ethanol -- which could compel farmers to buy more equipment. Risks include any adverse weather conditions, which could hurt farmers' production and income and leave them with less money to spend on new equipment. In addition, Congress will begin negotiating a new farm bill this year, which could reduce farm subsidies and likewise leave farmers with less money to invest in capital.
