Except Amazon could easily acquire John Deere.

  Just briefly scanning the numbers on Wikipedia, Amazon.com could acquire John Deere, but it'd be highly unlikely unless they expected that a change in management would yield implausibly high returns.

    I suppose my point is, they could acquire the knowledge needed to do cutting edge farm automation if that's something they wanted. And it should be something they want.

      I'm sure Jeff Bezos is eagerly awaiting your advice on Amazon.com acquisition targets. Farm automation is a great strategic fit with web services and online retailing, right?

        It's a rather straightforward step in controlling the supply chain when you are pushing something like Amazon Fresh. I suppose they also aren't a hardware manufacturer? Or a logistics company?
