Has your farm been in your family for generations? If so, you could be featured on the upcoming Official 2011 John Deere Calendar! The theme for the 2011 calendar is Generations To Come. It will feature John Deere customers who have kept their farm — and John Deere equipment — in their family for multiple generations.

 
To be considered, your family farm should meet the following criteria:

  1. The farm has been in your family for at least two, but preferably three or more generations — and hopefully will stay in your family for generations to come.
  2. You currently farm with John Deere ag equipment. In addition, your family has used some kind of John Deere ag equipment in previous generations.
  3. Preferably, your farm is located in a picturesque location – or features an area that would make a nice picture for a calendar. Some examples might include farmland with a unique grove of trees, fields or pastures near a pond or stream, or an interesting building, original farmhouse, or other unique land formation.
  4. You and your family are willing to have a professional photographer come and spend a day or two on your location for your calendar photo shoot.

If you would like your farm to be considered, just enter your information below and attach a few photos. (Or mail this information and your photos to: John Deere Generations Calendar, P.O. Box 627, Waterloo, Iowa 50704.)

Twelve families will be selected to be featured on the pages of the 2011 calendar.
