John Deere renews commitment as title sponsor through 2030
June 3 - John Deere signed an extension to remain the title sponsor of the John Deere Classic through 2030, the PGA Tour announced. John Deere has sponsored the event since 1998. The 2025 tournament begins on July 3 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill. "I'm continually impressed by the passionate fan support the Quad Cities community shows for the John Deere Classic year after year -- a true reflection of the pride and commitment Deere & Company brings to both its hometown and title event," PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said. "For more than 25 years, Deere & Company has elevated the Quad Cities through the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run, and the PGA Tour is proud to extend this valued partnership into the next decade." Per the PGA Tour, the John Deere Classic has helped raise more than $189 million for charity -- with 99 percent of that being raised since John Deere served as the title sponsor. "The John Deere Classic continues to be a powerful expression of who we are as a company -- deeply connected to our customers, committed to our hometown communities, and proud of our people," said John C. May, chairman and CEO of Deere & Company. "Year after year, hundreds of John Deere employees and retirees generously volunteer their time to help create a top-tier experience for players and fans. This event not only strengthens our global relationships but also delivers lasting impact right here in our hometown. We're excited to extend our partnership with the PGA TOUR and build on this legacy through 2030." --Field Level Media

Five of six Crawford Central candidates set to advance
Five of six candidates in primary races for Crawford Central School Board appear set to advance to the general election, according to unofficial results late Tuesday, but a near dead heat in the Democratic primary is likely to leave final results uncertain until write-in votes and any provisional ballots are resolved and official tabulation is completed in the coming days. With five candidates vying for four nominations on the Democratic ballot, the top three finishers were clear: Sean Murphy with 1,156 votes, Latasha Manning with 1,130, and David Moore with 1,112. The contest for the fourth and final Democratic nomination was significantly close as Tammy Silvis finished with 953 votes and Arnold E. Johnson III finished with 952. The unofficial results listed eight unresolved write-ins. Regardless of what happens in the Democratic primary, Silvis will be on the general election ballot in November since she was the top finisher in the Republican primary with 1,652 votes. School board candidates are permitted to cross-file for both parties' primaries in Pennsylvania. Manning, the only other candidate to cross-file, finished second in the Republican contest with 1,325 votes while D. Jerry Vettorel finished third with 1,110 votes. Since only three candidates were vying for four nominations on the Republican side, there were more write-in votes, with 125 remaining unresolved. If the top write-in candidate receives at least 10 votes, the candidate could be eligible to advance to the general election ballot in November. Silvis and Manning, the two nominees who cross-filed, are both incumbents, as is Vettorel. Silvis was elected to a two-year term in 2023 to fill a vacant seat while Vettorel and Manning were appointed to fill vacancies in July and August, respectively. The other candidates were all competing in their first race for a Crawford Central board seat. All of the seats up for grabs in November are for four-year terms.
