After years of supporting field operations and care behind the game, John Deere has stepped up to the plate, partnering with America’s favorite pastime: Major League Baseball (MLB).
Announced in 2026, the collaboration celebrates the work that goes into every game, with programming and activations rolling out throughout the MLB season.
A Partnership of Shared Values
At the center of it all, John Deere’s MLB partnership is about recognizing the people and preparation behind every game.
From hometown diamonds to major league lights, John Deere equipment plays a role in maintaining the spaces where baseball is played. This partnership brings visibility to that effort, highlighting the crews and communities that keep fields game-ready.
John Deere and MLB are positioning this collaboration around three key ideas:
- Preparation that happens before game day
- Pride in maintaining fields and green spaces
- Performance that supports players, fans, and communities
Together, the brands are emphasizing that the game is built long before it is played.
What the Partnership Includes
As part of the agreement, John Deere holds several official designations within Major League Baseball:
- Official Partner of MLB
- Official Tractor of MLB
- Official Lawn Mower of MLB
- Official Lawn Equipment Provider
These roles reinforce Deere’s connection to turf management and field maintenance at every level of the game.
Where Fans Will See It Come to Life
The partnership will be visible throughout the MLB season across multiple platforms and events.
Key activations include:
- National media and digital campaigns
- Social media and in-stadium presence
- MLB All-Star Week in Philadelphia
- MLB at Field of Dreams in Iowa
These moments will showcase the connection between agriculture, equipment, and the game itself, especially in locations tied closely to John Deere’s history.
Why This Matters for Equipment Owners and Communities
While the partnership centers on baseball, the broader message speaks directly to farmers, landowners, and equipment operators.
It honors the everyday work that keeps fields, properties, and communities running. For those in agriculture and land management, this MLB partnership reinforces the value of:
- Reliable equipment for turf and land care
- Consistent maintenance practices
- Pride in the work that supports larger experiences
