Deere & Company shareholder John Chevedden has filed an exempt solicitation urging investors to vote for Proposal 6 on written consent and to vote against Tamra Erwin, Chair of the Deere Governance Committee. He argues that written consent is a shareholder right that effectively requires support from a majority of all Deere shares outstanding, which in practice could mean 70%–80% support among reachable shares, and disputes Deere’s suggestion that it empowers a minority.
Chevedden notes that Deere disqualifies shares not held for a full year from participating in calling special shareholder meetings and describes Proposal 6 as an important shareholder-rights measure. He points to a similar written consent proposal that received 51% support at CDW Corporation. He also criticizes Deere’s 2026 proxy for including a lengthy general statement opposing all shareholder proposals, alongside separate oppositions to each proposal, and links this stance to Ms. Erwin’s governance role.
Deere & Company announced a planned finance leadership change. On January 20, 2026, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Joshua A. Jepsen informed the company he will resign effective February 19, 2026. The company states his decision is not related to any financial or accounting issue or to any disagreement over operations, policies, or practices.
Effective the same date, Deere appointed Ryan D. Campbell as acting Chief Financial Officer and as principal financial and principal accounting officer on an interim basis, while it searches internal and external candidates for a permanent replacement. Campbell, age 51, currently serves as President, Worldwide Construction & Forestry and Power Systems and previously served as Deere’s Chief Financial Officer from March 2019 to May 2022.
National Legal and Policy Center submitted an exempt solicitation urging Deere & Company shareholders to vote FOR Proposal 04, which asks Deere to publish a report on the return on investment (ROI) of its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. Deere has committed to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% and Scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030, and the filer argues these “Leap Ambitions” lack transparent financial analysis.
The memo claims Deere reallocates significant capital to electrification, alternative fuels, and renewable energy without disclosing clear capex, ROI, or internal rate of return metrics. It warns about potential regulatory “greenwashing” scrutiny, competitive risks if “green” products underperform diesel equipment, and geopolitical exposure from battery supply chains. The filer frames Proposal 04 as a call for fiduciary accountability and clearer evidence that climate initiatives support shareholder value.
