Exploring The Intelligence Behind John Deere Connected Support

Jan 17, 2019

The importance of agronomy continues to grow, and as it does, more John Deere customers are turning to connected support to gain further insight into their work. John Deere offers connected support to its customers specifically to provide a closer look at everything from soil to machinery on the go.

Let’s take a moment to examine how John Deere connected support can help with field management and ensure that producers are making the most of their time out in the field.

Machine Monitoring

One of the biggest benefits of connecting a machine to John Deere is that customers can monitor alerts from their machine remotely. This means that they do not need to be sitting in the cab to gain insight into its diagnostics and make sure that everything is running smoothly.

Monitor Fuel Level and Idle Time

Fuel levels and idle time can also be monitored from afar when a John Deere machine is connected. This gives operators the information they need to ensure that their machines are being utilized as efficiently as possible.

Dealer Connectivity

When a piece of Deere equipment is getting connected support, this means that dealers can quickly access and monitor alerts coming from this machine. In the event of a problem, they can help diagnose the issue at hand and get equipment up and running as quickly as possible. Dealer connectivity also means that software updates can be easily applied from the dealership as needed on the go. In the event of troubleshooting, a dealer can provide operators with insight from afar and help them reduce downtime as well.

JDLink Connect

Agronomic data from in-cab displays can be used outside of equipment through JDLink Connect. JDLink Connect allows operators to connect to their machines when they’re away from the field. With this asset, operators get a steady, automatic flow of agronomic data between all of their devices and machines. As the importance of agronomy continues to grow, tools like JDLink Connect are making life easier in a number of ways for operators when they can’t be out in the field.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
