Case IH Rolls Out New Solutions for Planting 2019

Feb 28, 2019

Partnership with The Climate Corporation provides HD mapping with FieldView technology on Early Riser planters

Case IH is expanding the capabilities of the Early Riser® planter lineup for spring 2019. New layers of high-definition (HD) data are now available with 2000 series Early Riser planters through The Climate Corporation FieldView® Cab app with FieldView Drive™ technology. The new setup option removes the need to purchase a display exclusively for FieldView and allows for row-by-row data visualization, mapping, autoguidance line sharing and more. It is available today for producers who operate a 2000 series Early Riser planter paired with a Case IH tractor that is equipped with Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) AccuGuide™ autoguidance (NavII/III controller, AFS 372 receiver and AFS Pro 700 display).

“Early Riser planters already offer a rugged row unit and industry-leading planting accuracy — now we’re adding another mapping technology option that meets the high-tech needs of producers,” said Tony McClelland, Case IH planter marketing manager. “Producers are always looking for easy planter data visualization tools to help them make informed agronomic decisions. We can now visualize singulation and liquid fertilizer layers directly from the planter to the FieldView Cab app.”

With compatible equipment and a FieldView subscription, all a producer needs to do is plug the FieldView Drive hardware into the Case IH AFS Pro 700 display and start planting. FieldView Drive offers standard map layers for the Case IH 1200 and 2000 series Early Riser planters, with additional map layers available for 2000 series Early Riser planters. Standard map layers include hybrid variety, population and planting speed data. Additional map layers available for the new 2000 series Early Riser planters include singulation, spacing, DeltaForce® hydraulic down force, liquid fertilizer and granular chemical layers, making Case IH the first original equipment manufacturer to deliver liquid fertilizer and granular chemical data layers to FieldView. Then, data is automatically stored to the producer’s FieldView cloud account, allowing for easy storage and data management. The additional map layers are compatible with 2000 series Early Riser planters connected to Case IH Steiger®, Magnum™, Optum™ and Puma® series tractors that are equipped with AccuGuide.

“This is a great solution for producers looking to maximize time in the field by optimizing row-by-row planter settings and then making more informed decisions throughout the rest of the growing season,” said McClelland.

In addition to HD mapping, FieldView also enables autoguidance line sharing between multiple Case IH tractors that are fully equipped with AFS AccuGuide (NavII/III controller, AFS 372 receiver and AFS Pro 700 display). Producers can use the FieldView Drive and their corresponding FieldView subscription to share straight A/B and heading guidance lines.
HD mapping is accessible on any iPad with The Climate Corporation FieldView app. No additional display is required. The technology is compatible with all Early Riser planters.

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.
