As some countries prepare to celebrate National Farmers Day, John
Deere Africa Middle East (AME), would like to thank all farmers; the many men, women, and
families who plow, sow, feed, harvest and who work tirelessly year round to contribute to food
and resource sustainability for the billions in Africa and the Middle East.
“Thank you to all our farmers for being an inspiration to us all,” says Stephan Nel, Divisional
Sales Manager at John Deere. “Those of us who enjoy the fruits of their labour seldom see the
commitment, dedication, long hours, passion and resilience that is needed to succeed in
farming. We thank all who farm or support farmers in any way.”
Farmers Day, originally referred to as Old Farmer’s Day, is celebrated each year to recognize
the hard work, dedication, and overall contribution to the economy while promoting awareness
and importance of farmers worldwide.
John Deere AME resonates with the importance of National Farmers Day and believes that
every day, week, month, and year, all farmers should be celebrated and recognized for their
commitment, dedication, long hours, community involvement, passion and resilient spirit.
John Deere remains dedicated to providing support through our committed channel network and
transferring expertise to all farmers, whether small or large, in order to revolutionise agriculture
in Africa and the Middle East and in celebration of National Farmers Day internationally, John
Deere wishes to highlight the many valuable resources available to those in the agricultural
industry.

John Deere has developed a “library” of resources for farmers: from podcasts to talk
shows, this leader in agriculture strives to remain a trusted resource.
