Based on the activity ratios of Deere & Company:

1. Inventory turnover: The inventory turnover ratio has been fluctuating over the periods, with a general decreasing trend. This indicates that Deere & Company is taking longer to sell its inventory. However, the ratio has improved slightly in the most recent periods compared to earlier periods where it was quite low.

2. Receivables turnover: Unfortunately, there is no data available for the receivables turnover ratio, so it is not possible to analyze how quickly Deere & Company is collecting on its receivables.

3. Payables turnover: Similarly, there is no data available for the payables turnover ratio, which would have indicated how efficiently Deere & Company is managing its accounts payable.

4. Working capital turnover: The working capital turnover ratio shows a significant fluctuation over the periods, indicating inconsistent utilization of working capital in generating sales. There are periods of high turnover, suggesting efficient use of working capital, but there are also periods of low turnover, indicating inefficiencies in managing working capital efficiently.

Overall, it is recommended to closely monitor and analyze inventory turnover and working capital turnover to identify areas for improvement in managing inventory and working capital efficiently. Additionally, obtaining data for receivables and payables turnover ratios would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the company's operational efficiency.

Deere & Company's long-term activity ratios indicate how efficiently the company is utilizing its assets to generate sales and productivity over an extended period. The fixed asset turnover ratio has shown a consistent upward trend, reaching a peak of 9.15 in the latest reporting period, indicating that the company is generating more sales relative to its fixed assets.

On the other hand, the total asset turnover ratio has also displayed an increasing trend, reflecting the company's ability to generate sales in relation to its total assets. Although this ratio is lower than the fixed asset turnover due to the inclusion of other types of assets, it still demonstrates an improvement in asset utilization efficiency.
