John Deere harvests from the Hill

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 5, 2019

Nothing runs like a congressional staffer. At least, that's what John Deere is hoping with its latest hire.

Miles Chiotti joins Deere as manager of government affairs. Chiotti, who most recently served as legislative director to Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), is no stranger to the manufacturing giant: Before coming to the Hill, he spent a year with John Deere Public Affairs Worldwide as a special projects coordinator.

Last year, Deere spent about $1.6 million lobbying the federal government on a host of issues, including the Internet of Things, the Farm Bill and trade policy with Cuba.
