Financing can be one of the more challenging parts of a complex farming, construction or commercial landscaping operation. John Deere Credit was founded to offer financing solutions to the industries we serve and the customers we know best. In addition to providing retail, wholesale and lease financing to help customers buy John Deere equipment, we also serve the broader needs of the agricultural industry by offering revolving credit and operating loans to help farmers purchase needed supplies and services.

The company has already invested in a host of wind energy projects in the rural United States, which not only will drive additional income for farmers but will also meet our nation’s growing demand for electricity.
