Bushel Plus Ltd., a global leader in harvest optimization solutions, announces a strategic partnership with John Deere, making the Bushel Plus SmartPan™ System available to U.S. and Canadian farmers through John Deere’s North American dealer network.

This collaboration brings together Bushel Plus’s proven drop-pan measurement system and John Deere’s advanced Harvest Settings Automation technology – giving farmers precise data to minimize harvest loss, optimize combine performance, and increase profitability.

This partnership is an important step for us to give our customers access and training to use the SmartPan System in combination with the Harvest Settings Automation technology, giving producers the tools they need to reduce harvest losses and make data‑driven decisions with confidence.”
