Although farm and construction equipment (mostly construction equipment) has been in high demand over the past couple of years as the US economy enjoyed its final expansion mode, that demand has declined since early this year. Deere is dependent upon construction cycles. Construction Cycles are dependent on the Real Estate Cycle, which is trending down to trough.
