The maker of construction and farming equipment reported second quarter earnings on Friday morning, crushing expectations for earnings and revenues.

In the release, Deere noted a rise in sales of construction equipment, which offset losses in sales of agriculture machinery.

The latter segment suffered because of a plunge in commodity prices.

And Deere expects things in the farming industry to go from bad to worse.
