Read These Customer Testimonials and See How John Deere Precision Ag Products Can Help You Save Time and Money

Q: When do you use you precision ag products?
A: "We use them throughout the season - during planting, spraying and harvest. The systems are farmer-friendly and take the fatigue out of driving."

Q: What are the cost benefits to owning the John Deere system?
A: "When you compare what it costs for the tools you get, the system gives you the confidence you need that your farming operation IS working better. Precision ag gives me benefits that I didn't have prior to owning the system and those benefits far outweigh the expense of the purchase cost."

Q: Explain the primary benefits you've experienced during each stage of the season.

A: "Planting - Auto Trac reduces the wear and tear on your body. You also don't have wide and narrow gaps as if you planted with a guide marker because each round is exactly the same.

Spraying - No overlap is a tremendous asset. Using foam markers, it's virtually impossible to see 45-60 foot to one side without overlapping or leaving a gap. Using precision ag, you don't overlap at all.

Harvest - (9760 John Deere combine) - Once you set you're A/B line, you can harvest all the way across the field - you can skip over 400 feet and have the same width to finish with no gaps. Our biggest benefit is with soybeans because of the relaxation of the operation to scan the ground and look for obstacles in the field you don't want to run thru your machine."

Q: What are the benefits to owning a John Deere system?
A: "We are able to operate more hours and run through the night. We have also put an inexperienced employee to work who had about 100 hours on a tractor. This would've been unheard of had we not had the Auto Trac guidance system. Also, our labor and chemical costs have gone down considerably. In today's time in agriculture, efficiency is a BIG word. I feel that whatever this is costing me, I'm getting more than that back.

Scalability and affordability of the Gree Star systems give producers a chance to use and benefit from this technology and expand it to include mapping and variable-rate applications."

Q: What are the cost savings to owning precision ag products?
A: "The mapping function allows us to analyze acres down to a "T". We start planning for the next year immediately when we get off the combine. In the winter, it enables me to set a game plan for the next year for each field.

The Auto Trac system enables me to save on fuel, chemicals, seed and time. I was skeptical about the accuracy when we first investigated the system, but I'd hate to go without is now that I have it.

I use the John Deere system on my 1780 planter and 4700 sprayer. Auto Trac pencils out - it more than pays for itself. Growers can save money on about anything you hook up to your precision ag system.

The RTK system has a level of control that allows me to spend less time steering my tractor. You can turn around, you can watch your implement work. You're not constantly concentrating on trying to drive straight."
