John Deere Africa Middle East pays tribute to farmers on National Farmers Day October 12, 2020- Africa. As some countries prepare to celebrate National Farmers Day, John Deere Africa Middle East (AME), would like to thank all farmers; the many men, women, and families who plow, sow, feed, harvest and who work tirelessly year round to contribute to food and resource sustainability for the billions in Africa and the Middle East.
“Thank you to all our farmers for being an inspiration to us all,” says Stephan Nel, Divisional Sales anager at John Deere. “Those of us who enjoy the fruits of their labour seldom see the commitment, dedication, long hours, passion and resilience that is needed to succeed in farming. We thank all who farm or support farmers in any way.”
Farmers Day, originally referred to as Old Farmer’s Day, is celebrated each year to recognize the hard work, dedication, and overall contribution to the economy while promoting awareness and importance of farmers worldwide.
John Deere AME resonates with the importance of National Farmers Day and believes that every day, week, month, and year, all farmers should be celebrated and recognized for their commitment, dedication, long hours, community involvement, passion and resilient spirit.
John Deere remains dedicated to providing support through our committed channel network and transferring expertise to all farmers, whether small or large, in order to revolutionise agriculture in Africa and the Middle East and in celebration of National Farmers Day internationally, John Deere wishes to highlight the many valuable resources available to those in the agricultural industry.
