This won't help. Here is a piece we picked up from our friends at the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association (FEMA) regarding the salary of John Deere executive Samuel R. Allen.
"The Associated Press reports that Deere & Co.'s president and chief executive Samuel R. Allen, who held those offices only the last two months of the company's fiscal 2009 after his promotion within the company, received annual compensation of $4.28 million for the year.
Allen, 56, took the helm Deere on Aug. 1, after serving for two months as chief operating officer during a planned transition. He has worked for Deere for 34 years. He also joined the company's board in June, and will become chairman on Feb. 24.
The bulk of his compensation came from non-equity incentives totaling $1.61 million and stock and options valued at $1.65 million at the time they were awarded. Allen also received $222,299 in other compensation, including $27,738 for personal use of the company's aircraft.
Allen succeeded Robert Lane as CEO. Lane will step down as chairman in February 2010. For fiscal 2009, Lane received compensation of $14.02 million. That included a salary of $1.51 million, non-equity incentives totaling $4.86 million and stock and options valued at $7.49 million at the time they were awarded."
