"As Deere sharpens its own strategic focus, we have concluded that the company's resources are best invested in growing our core equipment businesses around the world," said John Deere chairman and chief executive officer Samuel Allen.
In all, the sale involves 36 finished projects located in eight states, along with other ongoing developments. The company's energy production was reported at 735 megawatts.
