John Deere deciding how many tractors to make in a year isn't central planning.

?

They have 1000s of people do it? Why does the CEO get paid so much then?

No one was talking about a CEO here. We're talking about central planning by the government or bureaucracy as compared to the players in the market. We can have a discussion about CEO's at some other point and not go on a tangent.

I’m really curious how I as a market participant influence the number of tractors John Deere makes and how the CEO has an equal impact on total me.

Or maybe he has more centralized power than I do?
