Following three gold and 10 silver medal awards at Agritechnica 2015, numerous John Deere innovations were also recognised at last month's FIMA fair in Zaragoza, Spain and the Fieragricola 2016 event in Verona, Italy.

The technical committee of the FIMA fair has classified three John Deere systems as outstanding innovations and rated seven concepts as technical innovations, while another system received a special mention. In addition, the Fieragricola jury classified four John Deere innovations as outstanding technical solutions.

"The number of FIMA and Fieragricola awards reflects the company's ongoing commitment to research and development," said Chris Wigger, John Deere's Region 2 vice-president sales & marketing. "Following our series of gold and silver medals at Agritechnica 2015, these latest awards confirm that we are a true innovation leader in our industry.

"These innovations will help producers to enhance their equipment performance, improve machine uptime and reduce their operating costs," Wigger added. "They will also help us to expand our large arable and contractor customer base."
