Exploring Precision Agriculture with 21st Century Equipment
Mike Wemhoff, VP of Precision AG, is joined by Hank Jackson, a Precision AG Manager. They dive into the world of precision agriculture, focusing on the innovative Green Fit system and the Precision AG Essentials Kit.
Understanding Green Fit
Green Fit is a revolutionary controller that integrates John Deere technology into any brand of equipment. This system allows farmers to use John Deere technology across various equipment brands, simplifying operations by enabling them to learn and operate just one system. The Green Fit system supports a wide range of John Deere technology, including the latest models like the 2630s, 4640s, and the new G5.
Enhancing Connectivity with John Deere Operation Center
The John Deere Operation Center has transformed into a comprehensive operating system for farms. It not only integrates John Deere equipment but also equipment from other brands and trucking fleets. This connectivity allows farmers to manage their operations more efficiently, taking advantage of auto track and other advanced features.
Precision AG Essentials Kit: A Game Changer
The Precision AG Essentials Kit is designed for customers new to auto track or those with outdated technology. It offers an affordable entry point to upgrade to the latest systems, including the G5 plus and the Starfire 7000. The kit includes all necessary hardware, which customers own from day one, and offers advanced licenses for additional functionalities like implement guidance and auto path.
Success Stories and Customer Testimonials
Hank shares success stories from customers who have benefited from the Precision AG Essentials Kit. One customer, who loves staying up to date with the latest technology, purchased five kits to avoid the high upfront costs of constant upgrades. Another customer transitioned from using notebooks for record-keeping to utilizing the John Deere Operation Center. This significantly improved their data management and operational efficiency.
Looking Ahead: AG Expo in Greeley, Colorado
The next AG Expo is February 26th and 27th in Greeley, Colorado at the Island Grove Events Center. This event will showcase the latest in precision agriculture technology, including the Precision AG Essentials Kit and the Green Fit system.
