While John Deere currently projects a profit of around $3.2 billion and an increase in equipment sales of around 4% this year, that is down from its earlier projection of $3.2 billion and 5%. The picture gets even bleaker if the view is narrowed to include farm equipment sales only (excluding heavy equipment sales for the construction industry): ag equipment sales are down 6% over last year, and profits have dropped 24%.
