New
from Deere: Save seed costs with Swath Control Pro for planters
Adel, Iowa, farmer Lowell Garrett saved an estimated $7,000 on his seed
costs this spring (2 to 3% seed savings over 5,000 acres) by investing
$4,000 in John Deere's new Swath Control Pro technology. And that
savings occurred on basic rectangular fields with no point rows and only
headlands -- where the least amount of benefit is usually seen.
"For growers who are still new to precision farming technology, our new
Swath Control Pro for planters may be the initial piece that entices
them to get into precision farming due to quick payback on valuable
technology," says Kayla Reynolds, product marketing manager, John Deere
Ag Management Solutions (AMS).

from Deere: Control fertilizer costs with GS2 Rate Controller

control device, now offers expanded capability to control certain
anhydrous amonia (NH3) and liquid fertilizer applications.
"With the new delivery system, an operator controls fertilizer
application using the touch-screen GS2 display without the need of a
second console in the cab," says Kayla Reynolds, product marketing

New
from Deere: Improved GPS signal aids AutoTrac auto steering
As precision guidance continues to help growers lower input costs, save
fuel and reduce passes in a field, John Deere continues to build greater
accuracy into its software to bring more value into its equipment.
A free upgrade on the John Deere StarFire iTC receiver gives growers two
benefits: a sub-inch repeatable Long Range RTK signal 12 miles from the
base station (expanded from 6 miles), plus Shading Optimization so
AutoTrac won't drop a signal if some trees or other obstructions cause
momentary line-of-sight loss between vehicle and base station antenna.
"Precision guidance technology continues to improve with better software
to allow greater accuracy in variable field conditions...
