The Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) Board of Directors has approved an increase of the company's dividend to $.51 a share on common stock. The dividend is payable on May 1, 2013 to stockholders of record on March 28, 2013.

"Our dividend increase reflects our confidence in our long term cash flows. Deere is well-positioned to benefit from major trends that we continue to believe hold great promise for the company and its customers and investors," said Samuel R. Allen, chairman and chief executive officer. "We remain committed to our plans for profitably growing the company and returning cash to shareholders."
