Democrats are pushing the climate change agenda.
They’re pushing the ‘electric everything’ agenda, including electric cars.
Electric cars are being pushed by the democrat controlled government and not by the people and not by industries. Industries are following the democrat agenda out of fear.
The ‘electric everything’ agenda will eventually be known as the great experiment that failed miserably. Democrats should be punished by being kept out of government for decades.
I wouldn’t let go of the current diesel equipment.
They will do whatever globocop tells them to do.
Look for the cost of your box of cornflakes to triple in the next 24 months.

After that, it will really become expensive, so expensive that a box of cereal will be considered a luxury food.
truck mounted diesel generators for recharging... right?
In the last 30 years, John Deere has go to hell in a hand basket.
It is a prime example of snooty little punk kids getting their hands on the reigns of control and destroying what was once a great company.
Everything is learned from books..taught by brain dead sons a bitches in colleges.
Just install a few chargers around that 10,000 acres. Duh.
People have tried this with small tractors. Not compact but regular sized that were 30-40hp to start with. They converted them to electric and drive around but none of them demo with implement doing work. Gee, I wonder why? They try to sell you the planes too. LOL
People have tried keeping electric golf carts charged while operating with solar panels mounted as a roof. Problem is, the solar roof had to be 3-4 times the area of the footprint of the golf cart.
And again I say, if they want to prove alt-e;
Run a solar panel & charge controller manufacturing plant strictly from solar power. Must include manufacture of aluminum extrusion for the solar panel frame. Sheet metal or plastic molding plant to make the charge controller enclosure. Not including mining of raw materials and I bet it still wouldn’t be feasible.
Do the same with wind. Manufacture wind turbines start to finish running off of wind power.
In the both cases, they should also be manufacturing all those batteries they’ll need.
Before they say they can run the world, let them show they can self sustain their own power to build the damn things. Bet they can’t.
We’ll be just like Cuba, 60 years from now we’ll still be using our gas engines as they will be reliable machines.
we’re working on it = It can’t be done
The green deal is all about investments and stocks they are the only winners who says wall street owns D.C..

“Ok, I have some questions. How do I charge these combines when they are 3 counties away from the shop in the middle of a cornfield, in the middle of nowhere? How do I run them 24 hours a day for 10 or 12 days straight when the harvest is ready, and the weather is coming in? How do I get a 50,000+ lb. combine that takes up the width of an entire road back to the shop 20 miles away when the battery goes dead?”
Simple. Pre-position big diesel generators out in the middle of nowhere, and have fuel trucks deliver as needed. He might need 3 or 4 battery powered harvesters to replace the old diesel harvester, but all he has to do is drive the harvester with the dead battery up to the generator, hook it up, and then take a freshly-charged harvester back out to the field.
so they make the green crap but never thought about how long it has to run to get the job done , Oh wait maybe they want the farmers to buy a dozen electric ones to replace one diesel one ,LOL
If its bigger than a skill saw or a weed whacker, it needs gasoline or a cord to power it.
Maybe John Deere is thinking about Klaus Schwab’s 500 million world population , only have to grow a small amount for the elites
Simple question…where do you charge your tractor or combine in the middle of a field? The greenies have no clue what it takes to put food on the table…even their tofu. Now in countries like Canada, the Netherlands and Ireland green dictates threaten to end farming all together. Sri Lanka has decimated their agricultural production by ending fertilizer use and Canada is rapidly moving in the same direction. The Green New Deal could easily mean famine even in major agricultural countries like Canada and the US.
“Nothing runs like a Deere used to.”???
Same or similar for tanks, airplanes, most trucks, a lot of cars and so forth.
These people are fools. Can’t get any more generous than that.
I quit owning John Deere equipment when they started preventing us from working on it. I phased away from it when it got so many bells and whistles on it you had to be an instrument tech to fix it. I still have a couple of old JD tractors for sentimental value but that is it.
CaseIH serves me well.
I won't care, breakfast cereals are and have been on my do not eat list for decades. I prefer bacon and eggs for breakfast.
