As spring approaches, it’s time to start planning for planting. Precision ag technology is more critical than ever in setting yourself—and your farm—up for success. Here, we’ll discuss some of the best tools you can put to use while planting this spring.
Why Field Mapping Matters
Accurate field mapping is a crucial step in preparing for a productive season. With John Deere’s Operations Center, you can analyze past yield data, soil variability, and application history to make informed decisions on your specific property. Paired with AutoTrac guidance and Mobile RTK, you can create precise field boundaries, minimize overlap, and maximize efficiency.
Optimizing Inputs
Fine tune your seeding and nutrients. With John Deere ExactEmerge planters and Rate Controller 2000, you can make real-time decisions on variable rate planting and application. Now, there’s no more guesswork: you can be sure that your seeds and fertilizers are exactly where you want them, with lower waste and higher yields.
