Item 5. Other Events.
 
 The following is the text of a press release issued by Deere & Company
 October 12,
 1994.
 
 MOLINE, ILLINOIS -- Deere & Company announced that negotiations for a new labor
 agreement between the Company and the United Auto Workers (UAW) have been
 suspended without the two parties having reached a settlement agreement.
 
 "Representatives from Deere and the UAW have worked for a number of months
 trying to reach agreement on a new labor contract," according to Robert Combs,
 the
 company's director of corporate communications.  "To the company's
 disappointment, our efforts to reach agreement have ended without success.  
Deere
 is committed to the process of collective bargaining.  At present, however, the
 negotiations are deadlocked.
 
 "To further the long-term position of the Company, we know it is essential to 
treat
 employees fairly," Combs said.  "Equally importantly, as we've stressed to 
the UAW's
 leadership during these negotiations, our employment practices must recognize 
the
 realities of our intensely competitive markets and lay a foundation for 
long-term
 success in the marketplace.
 
 "During our discussions with the UAW, Deere has developed and presented a
 comprehensive proposal that would preserve and enhance for our current UAW-
 represented workforce their outstanding wage and benefit package, a 
compensation
 package which is the very best in our industries," Combs said. 
 "Our proposal for an
 agreement would also enhance the Company's long-term competitiveness.
 
 "While we regret the lack of success in reaching a new labor agreement, the
 Company expects to maintain normal operations," Combs said.
 
 Combs noted that the Company is willing to resume meeting with UAW
 representatives at any time if there is an indication that new discussions 
would be
 fruitful.
