Big Savings
Right now is the best time to invest in new
equipment. You can take advantage of great
financing specials from John Deere Credit,
and minimize your tax liability (for further
details, consult your tax advisor). In fact,
new legislation enables many producers to
take an additional first-year tax depreciation
of 30% on capital expenditures. That means
bigger savings and increased cash flow.
