Today…… Meet up with a man that was the center of a lot of attention in June. He has a knack for the arts where he sings, raps, writes songs, and makes wax sculptures. A recent college graduate thrown into the dream job of John Deere’s Chief Tractor Officer. In which he kicked Dave and My’s butt. We are here to ask him the tough questions and see if he can live up to the hype. It is my pleasure to introduce John Deere’s first ever CTO from Seatle, WA Mr. Rex Curtiss!!!

I grew up in northeast Nebraska and we call them Taverns. I live 45 minutes from Omaha and they are referred to as sloppy joes here. My wife is from south central Nebraska and refers to them as sloppy joes.
