Put Your Data Where You Can See, Share, and Use It

Digital tools are the systems and apps that help you collect, share, and analyze information for your operation. At a minimum, they can simplify and automate your recordkeeping. Fully implemented, they can help you evaluate and improve your farm’s performance like never before. The more you tap into the power of data, the greater your potential for gains. But even basic use of John Deere’s data management tools can bring savings and efficiency to your operation.

It All Starts With A Connected John Deere Machine

To use these tools, you need connected machines. A JDLink connected machine, coupled with a Generation 4 and G5 display, allows the seamless and automatic flow of your data to digital platforms such as John Deere Operations Center. When plans change, a connected machine allows you to adjust quickly and from anywhere. You’ll be able to update varieties, prescriptions, send new work plans, and more.
