INVENTORIES |
INVENTORIES | (12) Most inventories owned by Deere & Company and its U.S. equipment subsidiaries and certain foreign equipment subsidiaries are valued at cost on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) method. If all of the Company’s inventories had been valued on a “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) method, estimated inventories by major classification in millions of dollars would have been as follows:

Raw materials and supplies |  | $ | 1,571 |  | $ | 1,369 |  | $ | 1,394 |
