Planting soybeans early and corn in optimal conditions leads to the best agronomic outcomes – and getting to the field faster makes it possible.
John Deere's ExactEmerge™ delivers fast, accurate planting at speeds up to 10 mph (16.1 km/h) with strong population uniformity, helping you hit your optimal planting window.

You can update your existing equipment. Choose from two options to best fit you and your operation.
Best for: Farmers with older planters (model year 2005+) who want like-new performance without buying new.
The Ultimate Planter Upgrade replaces worn row-unit components with new, factory-built row units – delivering like-new performance, restored reliability, and the latest planting technology on your existing planter bar, at a lower cost than purchasing a new ExactEmerge™ planter. Each upgrade includes a new shank, parallel arms, metering system, downforce system and SeedStar 5™ monitoring system.
Best for: Farmers with newer planters (model year 2015+) whose row units and wear parts are still in good condition, and who want to improve planting accuracy at the lowest upfront cost.
Keep your existing row units and upgrade only your metering system to factory-standard ExactEmerge™. A targeted, lower-cost path that modernizes your planter with SeedStar™ 51 and connects you to the full suite of John Deere Precision Technology – with less clutter in the cab. No need for new shanks, parallel arms, or gauge wheels.

Better stands begin with improved planting accuracy: Plants have a 7% Higher Seed Survival Rate2 and 9% Higher Grain Yields3 when planted at the optimum time, depth and spacing.
With a John Deere Precision Upgrade, you get the benefits of the latest planter technology without having to replace your current planter. At the end of the day that means you can reduce your risk and…
If your planting window is measured in days instead of weeks, ExactEmerge™ Row Units can get you in and out of the field quickly, with pinpoint population and spacing accuracy. The BrushBelt™ delivery system drops seed precisely into the trench with little to no ‘rolling,’ enabling accuracy at any planting speed. With higher productivity and more accurate spacing, your yield potential will improve.3
Ensures consistent planting depth and optimal seed-to-soil contact, even in rapidly changing field conditions. The Gen 2 Precision Upgrade Kit instantly adjusts downforce row-by-row as conditions change, so uniform emergence is never left to chance.
We have a Precision Upgrade to help you upgrade your planter with the latest technology.
BrushBelt™ tightly holds the seed from the meter and keeps the seed-to-seed relationship through the delivery system firm and consistent. Seed is then speed matched to the ground allowing it to be placed gently at the bottom of the trench without a traditional bounce and roll found when planting at higher speeds.
Saving money begins with eliminating waste. The dual electric drives are designed to improve population accuracy and spacing, eliminating wasteful overplanting while improving yield. Overplanting in curves and headlands results in unnecessary seed costs. Our electric drive row-units reduce this waste with individual meter control allowing for greater curve performance and individual row shutoff when crossing sections of the field already planted.
Maintain target population on curved rows within your fields. Curve Compensation allows each row to receive a signal based on the speed the row unit is moving. Once the signal is received the meter and brush begin to turn at the correct RPM based on the ground speed of that respective row. This means your inside rows going slower won’t overpopulate and your outside rows going faster won’t under-populate.
