Deere & Company

And welcome to Deere and Company's second quarter earnings conference call. Your lines have been placed on listen only until the question and answer session of today's conference. I would like to turn the call over to Mr. Josh Jepson, Director of Investor Relations.

Thank you. You may begin. Hello.

Good morning. Also on the call today are Ryan Campbell, our Chief Financial Officer, Corey Reed, President of Production and Precision. Let's take a closer look at the second quarter earnings, then spend some time talking about our markets and our current outlook for fiscal 21. After that, we'll respond to your questions. Please note that slides are available to complement the call this morning. They can be accessed on our website.
