Deere Adds New Director

Deere & Company

John Deere has added a new member to its board of directors. 

Alan Heuberger is a senior investment manager at BMGI, the office responsible for the non-Microsoft investments of Bill Gates and for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trust.

Among the many investments he oversees are farmland, farm production, and processing, plus companies including Deere.
 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
