EXHIBIT 11
DEERE & COMPANY AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE
For the Five Years Ended October 31, 1996
(All amounts other than per share data are stated in thousands)
--------------------
* Net income per common share outstanding was used in the designated
calculations since the dilutive effect of common stock options, stock
appreciation rights, contingent shares and assumed conversion of
convertible debentures was either immaterial or antidilutive. All share
and per share amounts have been adjusted retroactively for a three-for-one
stock split effective November 17, 1995.
