Deere & Company Board of Directors recently issued the following announcement.
John Deere acquired Harvest Profit, a leading provider of farm profitability software based in Fargo, North Dakota.
"Harvest Profit software helps farmers forecast and measure profitability on a field-by-field basis," said Lane Arthur, Vice President, Data, Application, and Analytics at John Deere. "This software will provide John Deere customers with a forward-looking financial lens, better visibility into their farms' profitability, and insights to help them make the best possible decisions managing their operations."

"Harvest Profit builds on the John Deere goal of providing cutting-edge technology solutions that empower our customers to make more informed decisions," Arthur said. "This software provides financial visibility for the customer of their operations enabling confident and proactive management decisions that make them more profitable and sustainable."
Founded in 2015, Harvest Profit is recognized for its deep understanding of agriculture, software development, and production costs and revenue data that drive field-level profitability.
Harvest Profit will retain its brand name. Financial terms of the agreement are not being made public.
