What is it about John Deere green/yellow that drives people to paint their houses like that? I know their tractors are very popular, and that little kids love the wagons and play toy tractors, etc. But where we live, it seems to be more than a fad. We went to the local Ace Hardware, and they have John Deere everything for the home! Clothes too. I was wondering what it is about the colors or the theme that would make a person want to pain their home in those colors? Maybe it's the same thing that would make someone go all out for a favorite sports teams colors. Any input would maybe help me to understand.

I have no idea why they do these things! I guess they are real big fans of the John Deere! There are some country songs that are devoted to John Deere, like this one song about John Deere Green. It's just a big symbol of the country life. Some people go overboard with it just like with anything else in life.

It is a fad and I can't wait for it all to go away. The colors are ugly and they stand out like a sore thumb. The products are expensive as all get out. I don't buy name brand products but buy products that have a good reputation with other people that I know. I'll never buy a name brand because it's popular in the way that John Deere is.

Be a man. For you that means to get dirty doing something productive, from begining to end. Not grand, it must be simplistic. Just a house or even a storage facility.

Well if it comes to peoples cars, houses and clothing, that's them. As long as it isn't something that detracts from the neighborhood it should be fine. I've seen people do team color and the houses aren't bad at all. Plus it is much better than (white-tan, white-beige, white-brick, white-white, etc). Color isn't that bad, especially if done properly on houses. Its the homeowner's choice. Maybe they have designs of it or its just an idea in their head. The house is theirs, let them paint it.

very much for the money it makes but then people are what they are and yup think it is like a sports team thing.
also it takes people here in the states back to the good old farm days when we were thriving with good family ranches and farms growing all our own food.
