Trimble Introduces Connected Data Management License for Trimble Agriculture Display Users

Nov 16, 2023

Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) Announced the Trimble Ag Software–Data user license, offering seamless web and mobile connectivity for Trimble display users. This solution empowers farmers to efficiently manage their precision agricultural data. This user-friendly system bridges the gap between the field and the Trimble Agriculture Cloud, facilitating the collection, standardization, visualization and utilization of data from Trimble and third-party sources. Farmers can harness this data within Trimble's own applications or integrate it into third-party environments using Trimble APIs. This approach enables farmers to unlock the full potential of their data, either independently or through collaboration with business partners, resulting in significant time savings throughout the operational cycle.

The Trimble Ag Software–Data license is designed to address common operational challenges by connecting data, environments, workflows and stakeholders across the farm. By connecting the in-cab display and providing a rich suite of display data management capabilities, Trimble enables farmers to prepare the necessary field data and job instructions, including boundaries, guidance lines, landmarks and materials. This ensures field work is completed efficiently and with higher accuracy. In addition, farmers save time collecting and sharing job data from displays by getting real time access to job status and task records as jobs are completed. Valuable task records are centralized in the farmer’s Trimble Agriculture Cloud account and made available for reporting, record keeping, agronomic analysis or collaborating with business partners. Finally, this new Trimble user license is designed with busy farmers in mind. It allows them to effectively manage field operations while on the go, including efficient monitoring of field work and simplifying the collection and sharing of data.

“The Trimble Ag Software–Data license is the first in its category that is not specific to a single equipment manufacturer or brand, allowing farmers to optimize production across a mixed fleet,” said Dave Britton, vice president, product management, Trimble Agriculture. “With this new software, we’re laying the foundation to enable future value from connected devices, helping farmers better run their operations.”

In addition, the Trimble Ag Software–Data license allows access to Trimble’s expanded API, creating an open environment for farmers by coupling in-field devices and operational workflows for enabling compatibility with both Trimble and third-party agriculture applications. By bringing displays into the connected world, farmers can now bring the management of the data off the device, into the cloud and then into a Trimble third-party application by utilizing the extended API.

Trump announces a $12 billion U.S. farmer aid package to be paid out by February 28, 2026. This helps no one but the ag banks, farm equipment companies, seed and fertilizer companies. It does prevent more farmer bushels from being sold near-term but is not bullish grain prices long-term.

The U.S. Fed cut interest rates for the 3rd time by 25 basis points to a range of 3.50 – 3.75% and they will only cut one more time in 2026 and once in 20267/ but when Powell is gone next April the replacement is willing to cut more aggressively and we could see U.S. interest rates fall to 2.0% very bullish for ag and stocks as it could reignite inflation into 2027.
