ASBESTOS LITIGATION: Deere Subject to Product Liability Lawsuits

Deere & Company is still subject to various unresolved legal
actions which arise in the normal course of its business, the
most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including
asbestos-related liability), retail credit, software licensing,
patent and trademark matters.

No other asbestos-related matters were disclosed in the
Company's latest quarterly report filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Headquartered in Moline, Ill., Deere & Company makes farm
equipment. The Company also produces construction, forestry,
industrial, and lawn-care equipment.
