House Minority Leader Tony McCombie recently organized a visit for her women in agriculture advisory group to John Deere Harvester Works. The facility, located in East Moline, is recognized as one of the largest and most advanced combine production plants globally.
During the visit, the group learned about John Deere's extensive history, toured the manufacturing plant, and experienced sitting in a combine at the visitor’s center. The company's influence extends beyond innovation in agriculture; it plays a significant role in Illinois. McCombie appreciated the opportunity to showcase this impact to her advisory group.
"John Deere has a historic record of innovation in agriculture–but their impact goes beyond that," McCombie stated. "They are integral in Illinois and the House Minority Leader enjoyed bringing her advisory group on site to understand the compassion and purpose behind their products."
