I heard if that portion of the turf is damaged the grounds crew isn’t allowed to repair it themselves.

Should have been a Deere plowing through gophers

Had a lot of friends who worked and John Deere

And Firestone

I would sell my soul to have one of these gems to park in the Hy-Vee Parking Lot

Why did this make me think of Lois Felderman?

I wonder how much JD paid for this privilege.

My father-in-law worked at the JD plant there in Ankeny for over 30 years, that side of the family all have a JD t shirt.

Now we can probably expect a JD/Tiger Hawk T!

Is it the John Deere Red Zone now as well?

Good thing they have all that extra money after laying off staff...

So that's why they laid off so many people. So they could afford to pay for the privilege of putting that on the field. I'd be curious what that costs. And why now smack dab in the middle of the season? Those sort of things I would think would all be negotiated on in the off season so it'd be good to go day 1 throughout the yr.

Wish it was a Duke Slater image instead.
