Spraying Smarter, Not Harder: The Future of Precision Ag with See & Spray Ultimate
How does See & Spray Ultimate reduce your chemical overhead?
In our neck of the woods—from Eastern Colorado to Western Nebraska—the cost of inputs can make or break a season. We’ve seen See & Spray™ Ultimate become a real "game-changer" because it moves away from the old-school "blanket coverage" method.
This system uses high-speed cameras and machine learning to differentiate between weeds and your actual crop in real-time. Our technicians have witnessed the impressive results firsthand:
- Targeted Application: Herbicide is only triggered when a weed is identified.
- Dual-Tank System: Allows for the simultaneous application of broadcast and spot-spraying.
- Reduced Chemical Use: Many growers are seeing massive savings in their chemical bills, which is better for the soil and your wallet.
Is AutoTrac Turn Automation the next step toward full autonomy?
Precision isn't just about where you drive; it's about what you drop. ExactShot™ is a "small but mighty" innovation that applies starter fertilizer directly onto the seed as it’s tucked into the trench.
Instead of a continuous stream of fertilizer, the system uses sensors to "time" the application:
- Significant Savings: You aren't fertilizing the space between the seeds where weeds thrive.
- Increased Speed: Maintain high-speed planting without sacrificing placement accuracy.
- Environmental Stewardship: Less runoff and a more efficient use of nutrients.

Common Questions About Precision Ag Innovation (FAQ)
Can See & Spray™ Ultimate be used in all crop types? Currently, it is highly effective in corn, soy, and cotton. We are constantly seeing John Deere expand these capabilities to more crops as the machine learning software evolves.
What is the benefit of the StarFire™ 7000 over previous models? The 7000 provides much faster signal acquisition and better performance near tree lines or in hilly terrain. It’s the "gold standard" for reliability in our region.
How does AutoPath™ help during harvest? Because AutoPath™ records the exact location of every row during planting, your combine knows exactly where to go in the fall—even if the rows are downed or difficult to see.
