The inventory footnate from Deere & Company's 2018 10-K follows. Inventories A majority of inventory owned by Deere & Company and its U.S. equipment subsidiaries are valued at cost, on the "lastin, first-out" (LIFO) basis. Remaining inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost, on the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis, or net realizable value. The value of gross inventories on the LIFO basis at October 28, 2018, and October 29, 2017, represented 54 percent and 61 percent, respectively, of worldwide gross inventories at FIFO value. If all inventories had been valued on a FIFO basis, estimated inventories by major classification at October 28, 2018, and October 29, 2017, in millions of dollars would have been as follows: 5 millions Fished goods and parts Total value Less adjustment to UFO value 2018 2017 $2,233 $1,688 776 495 4,777 3,182 1,637 1,461 $6,149 $3,004

![The inventory footnate from Deere & Company's 2018 10-K follows.
Inventories A majority of Inventory owned by Deere & Company and its U.S. equipment subsidiaries are valued at cost, on the "last-in, first-out" (LIFO) basis. Remaining Inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost, on the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis, or net realizable value.

and October 29, 2017, represented 54 percent and 61 percent, respectively, of worldwide gross inventories at FIFO value. If all Inventories had been valued on a FIFO basis, estimated Inventories by major classification at October 28, 2018, and October 29, 2017, in millions of dollars would have been as follows:
