Discovering What the John Deere Exactemerge Planter can do

May 09, 2019

When you’re on the hunt for a piece of equipment that can help you tackle even the largest planting jobs, you know you can turn to John Deere for help. The ExactEmerge planter, which debuted at the 2014 National Farm Machinery Show, was specially designed to take on a wide array of planting jobs, whether you’re looking to cover a small plot of land or a large amount of acreage in one pass. Find out what this equipment is capable of by hearing it directly from John Deere customers.

Speed

Perhaps one of the biggest highlights of John Deere’s ExactEmerge planter is that it reaches planting speeds of up to 10 miles per hour. This means that operators cover a large amount of ground in a small amount of time, resulting in more efficiency during the workday.

Seed Delivery System

The new seed delivery system of John Deere’s ExactEmerge cradles the seed from the meter down to the seed trench, maintaining optimal seed spacing in varying field conditions. With this new system, operators can worry less about seed placement as they speed across their fields.

Bowl-shaped Meter

ExactEmerge features a new, rigid bowl-shaped meter, along with a brush-style that requires no adjustment. It is specially designed to provide a smoother, crisper seed handoff to the brush belt, which replaces the seed tube.

Terrain Adaptability

This piece of equipment can handle all seed shapes and sizes, achieving 99% singulation with no mechanical adjustments needed, even over terrain with slopes up to 15 degrees. This means less stopping and restarting, ultimately making for a smoother, more productive workday.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
