Tom, I checked the imdb database for John Deere and came up with these:
<http://www.imdb.com/company/co0056701/> - as distributor 1. Pork: The Meal with a Squeal (1963) ... Distributor (1963) (USA) 2. New Breed of Deere (1959) ... Distributor (1959) (USA) 3. Uncle Joe (1941) ... Distributor <http://www.imdb.com/company/co0027390/> as producer 1. Paradise for Buster (1952) Hopefully one of these is what you are looking for. As for getting it ... <vbg> Maybe it can be ordered from John Deere themselves? <http://www.deere.com/en_US/deerecom/usa_canada.html> Or, if you want to do more digging, I'm sure there are plenty of historical John Deere groups on Yahoo - maybe one of them could give some advice. If you find the film name, do you have an independent video dealer nearby that could try to order it? One exists in Goshen, IN, so I'm sure some exist in South Bend, which I think is somewhat close to you.
