John Deere Introduces JD™, the AI Assistant That Helps Farmers Put Their Data to Work

For more than a decade, John Deere Operations Center™ has helped farmers connect their field, machine, and operational data in a centralized platform. And now it's being taken to the next level with JD, the artificial intelligence (AI) assistant built into Operations Center that gives farmers an entirely new way to put their data to work: by simply asking it a question. As AI makes farm data more useful and valuable, John Deere is also highlighting its Farmer Data Commitment, reinforcing that farmers' data belongs to them, it remains under their control, and it should create value for their operation.

A New Way to Put Farm Data to Work

JD enables farmers to have a conversation with the vast amount of field, machine, and operational data they generate, creating the opportunity to improve yields, drive savings and strengthen farm profitability through AI. Instead of searching across multiple dashboards or reports, farmers can ask questions such as:

  • How did my fuel use during tillage this year compare with the last three years? — helping identify best practices and result in fuel savings.
  • How did singulation compare across my fields, and what impact did it have on yield? – enabling a better understanding of how equipment settings can impact yield.
  • Which sprayer operator is covering the most acres per hour? – resulting in understanding operational efficiencies.
  • When is the optimal time to harvest based on historical trends? — enabling better planning and management of labor.

With JD, farmers can surface the right information quickly and receive practical responses grounded in their own data. The result is a simpler way to make sense of complex operational information and act with more confidence.

"Farmers have more data available to them than ever before, but the value comes from their ability to use it in the moments that matter," said Jahmy Hindman, Chief Technology Officer at John Deere. "JD changes the experience from navigating through a sea of data to simply asking it a question. It puts advanced data analysis within reach by enabling farmers to receive answers tailored to their farm and their needs in a matter of seconds."

Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

Video: Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

When was the last time you read the label on your honey?

We spent a day at Molenkamp Honey Farms with Michael Molenkamp, who has been keeping bees for 17 seasons and runs three to four thousand hives. In mid-September, he was finishing treatments and getting his bees ready for winter, and he walked us through how Alberta honey gets made.

Alberta has just 150 commercial beekeepers running 300,000 colonies, and together they produce 40% of Canada’s honey. Long summer days and golden canola fields give Alberta honey a light flavour that’s hard to match anywhere else.

Molenkamp calls Alberta beekeepers some of the most resilient farmers he knows. There’s plenty of Alberta honey to go around, but a lot on our shelves isn’t from here, so his ask is simple. Give the label a second look and choose honey made by Alberta beekeepers, or buy straight from a beekeeper near you.
