Deere Funding Canada Corporation is issuing $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.850% senior unsecured Notes due July 15, 2031, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Deere & Company. Interest is paid semi-annually each January 15 and July 15, starting January 15, 2027, using a 30/360 day-count convention.

The Notes are not listed, and the underwriters are not obligated to maintain a trading market.
