Deere Receives Integrity Award … Again

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has presented its “Statistics Outstanding Merit Awards” to 51 equipment manufacturing companies in recognition of their exemplary 2007 performance in AEM’s statistical reporting programs, which enhances the association’s ability to provide meaningful market data to members.

AEM presented the association’s annual “Dick Harris Data Integrity Award” to Deere & Company for the 11th consecutive year. This award honors the company best representing the ideals of timeliness, accuracy, consistency and good corporate citizenship.

It was initiated in 1994 and is given annually by AEM’s Forestry, Earthmoving and Excavator Statistics Committee in honor of the late Dick Harris, who helped develop the AEM statistics program in the 1970s and 1980s while employed by International Harvester and Komatsu America International.
