Note the dour projections for two of Deere's most important markets – U.S. and Canada, and South America. Investors may recall how Deere launched more than 60 new machines in Latin America this past April. That aggressive expansion may appear ill-timed, going by the above projections and the ongoing economic challenges in the nation. These warning signals, coupled with Deere's weak numbers in the past couple of quarters were enough to make investors jittery.
