When it comes to serving our Customers, we know that the right tools are only half the story. The real difference comes from having the knowledge to put those tools to work. That’s why our team recently dedicated time to an intensive, hands-on training session focused on John Deere Precision Technology.
By fostering a culture of Learning, we stay updated with industry trends and advancements, allowing us to set the standard in service and product offerings.
From combines and tractors to sprayers and Gators, we brought together all the latest and greatest John Deere tech so our Optimization Specialists could sharpen their expertise — and pass that knowledge along to team members across Koenig Equipment.
Did we have fun? Absolutely, yes.
Are we excited to continuing serving you and others in our community? More than anything.
Why We Train
Farming is changing faster than ever. With precision agriculture, technology is making it possible to farm smarter — not just harder.
- Optimize every pass in the field for efficiency and yield.
- Collect and analyze data to make informed decisions.
- Maximize equipment performance through advanced automation and monitoring.
For our Customers, this means greater productivity, lower costs, and a sustainable edge for the future. For us, it means making sure our team is ready to help you make the most of it all.
Inside the Training
We turned our space into a John Deere innovation hub for the day and it was fantastic.
- An S7 700 John Deere Combine equipped with the latest harvesting automation.
- A 8R 370 John Deere Tractor running cutting-edge guidance and control systems.
- A 410R John Deere Sprayer designed for pinpoint accuracy and efficiency.
- An 835M John Deere Gator outfitted with a StarFire 7500 antenna
- and much, much more.
Our Optimization Specialists led in-depth sessions in the classroom and with hands-on experiences out in the test field. Everybody learned how it benefits different operations and why it's important for our Customers.
Work Hard. Play Hard. Serve Better.
Yes, we were there to learn — but we also had fun doing it. Our team’s energy, curiosity, and passion for serving Customers made the day fly by. Every question asked, every system tested, and every “aha” moment will translate into better support and solutions for our Customers.
The Champions
To keep the energy high, our Precision-focused training included a series of friendly competitions that tested skills, speed, and accuracy with John Deere technology. It was a fun, yet challenging way to spark a little rivalry while reinforcing what we learned. Congratulations to our winners!
Looking Ahead to the Future
Technology in agriculture isn’t slowing down — and neither are we. Our commitment to ongoing training means we’ll continue investing in our people so they can help you get the most out of your John Deere equipment.
Whether you’re planting, harvesting, spraying, or managing day-to-day operations, our team is here with the expertise and the tools to make every acre count.
We’re not just keeping up with the future of farming — we’re helping shape it right here in Indiana and Ohio.
Note: The theme for this event was selected several months in advance and was intended purely to add a lighthearted, engaging element to our training. We have the utmost respect for Mr. Hogan and no disrespect is intended.
