Hi, I'm Tony Kramer, your host of the Agriculture Technology Podcast, and I'm sitting down with

agriculture technology and equipment experts to help you enhance your operation for today,

tomorrow, and into the future. In this episode, I talk with Michael Porter about the new

lineup of John Deere, 8RR, and A-R-X Tractor.

With that, like I said, we're going to be talking new lineup of A-R and A-R-X tractors.

We got Michael Porter back on the show.

We were actually talking prior to hitting the record button here.

This is actually Michael's third time on the show. So welcome back, Michael. Really excited to have you again

to talk more John Deere equipment. Before we dive into it, why don't you remind our listeners

a little bit about who you are and where you come from? Appreciate you having me on for, yeah,

the third time. So Michael Porter, I'm the go-to-market manager for large tractors and tillage for John Deere.

So I get to help kind of launch our new products in that area as well as, you know,

I work with our dealers and field teams for John Deere, preparing them for new products,

helping with training, incentives, pricing,

a little bit of everything for all the different tractor tillage and of recent autonomy

products. I live in Kansas City. I'm out of our marketing office here and I've been with John Deere

right at about 10 years full time now, a couple different roles most of the time spent out in the

field, either on the service

side, helping dealers learn new products, new technology.

And then I've been here in the large tractor marketing role for a little over two years now.

Wonderful.

Welcome back again.
