Every Adventure Starts With A Thought

It's not every day that a person wakes up and says, "I'm going to write a blog about agriculture companies!"  That just doesn't happen, but for me, it kind of did. I will be conducting this blog for over 10 weeks and each week I will be filling it with information of my choice.  There are so many moving pieces within agriculture such as crop production, animal science, the food industry, machinery...etc.  This made is difficult for me to center on one topic that I would love to learn more about.  While driving I noticed all of the agriculture dealers I was passing and inspiration popped into my head.  As I was passing the dealers I  thought it would be an interesting idea to figure out how these companies started and how their name became so well known.

John Deere.  Case IH. Doosan Bobcat Company.  These are BIG name companies, but do we know much about how they came to be?  Most people have heard of John Deere or know that their colors are green on their equipment.  But why are they green?  Who is this "John Deere" guy and how did this company become such a popular name and brand to have on the farm and in the fields?

These are the kinds of questions I will be looking to answer when researching about a few BIG name agriculture companies.  Stay tuned, there may be some juicy stories about how these companies started.  I do know for certain that they all started with a small thought.
