Planting Technology

IT'S GO TIME

When conditions line up, the clock starts. Every acre you cover today sets you up for uniform emergence and a strong, uniform yield at harvest. Plant faster with ExactEmerge™, knowing every seed is placed where it should be. AutoPath™ and AutoTrac™ Implement Guidance keep your planter and row spacing in the right place. Every acre planted properly sets the season up for uniform emergence and yield that holds through harvest.

FEED THE SEED

ExactShot™ places an exact dose of starter fertilizer right on the seed – only the amount the seed needs, saving up to two-thirds on input costs1. ExactRate™ adjusts the application rate across every acre as conditions change. The right nutrient at the right time for a better chance of increased yield potential.

TURN PLANTING DATA INTO SEASON-LONG PLANS

Every pass through your fields collects valuable data. Variety, population, depth, spacing, fertility rate, soil conditions. All captured as you plant. John Deere Operations Center™ keeps it where you can find it. Share that data with your trusted advisors to adjust plans as the season unfolds and make better decisions earlier next year.

Do more with your current planter

Most of the latest planter technology is available as a Precision Upgrade. Add ExactShot or ExactRate to your current planting setup. Swap out mechanical drive systems for elective drive row units, bringing ExactEmerge accuracy and speed to your existing planter. Your dealer can walk you through what fits.

It [Downforce Automation powered by FurrowVision™] has saved me time as far as not having to worry about and checking things over all the time. Once you get confidence in the system and you visually see that it's working and doing what it's says, you're going to turn this thing on and let it roll.
