Trimble Announces Seamless Farm Data Integration with the John Deere Operations Center

Aug 30, 2016

Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) is now connected with the John Deere Operations Center through John Deere's API services. This connection allows Trimble to enhance the value of its Connected Farm® and Farm Works Software® solutions—Trimble's web-based and desktop farm management solutions—by downloading as-applied and yield task data from Operations Center. The integration provides farmers the ability to make more informed decisions by sharing data across platforms to manage their information.

"Through this initiative, Trimble expands its data footprint in precision agriculture and continues to manage and collect data with a mixed fleet of vehicles and implements," said Darren Howie, general manager of Trimble's Agriculture Business Solutions. "Whether it's seed variety locations, fertilizer rates, or harvest data, our customers can now import even more valuable information on a timely basis and make decisions based on activities carried out by John Deere precision ag solutions."

"This new data exchange will save us a lot of time transferring files between the field and office, allowing us to use our farm data more efficiently. It's breaking down barriers that allow us to make decisions better and faster," said Doug Palen, a grain farmer in Kansas who uses Trimble's Farm Works along with John Deere solutions.

The connection between Trimble solutions and the John Deere Operations Center allows more accurate records, eliminates duplicate data entry and gives farmers a better understanding of their production costs. Data can be accessed online using Trimble's Connected Farm or from the desktop using Farm Works Software. From there, farmers can choose to share information with a trusted advisor to assist in creating fertility prescriptions, variable rate irrigation plans or other cost saving strategies.

Trimble's Connected Farm interfaces with other third-party platforms including: MapShots AgStudio® software, Raven Slingshot® system, DuPont Pioneer Encirca℠ services, and AGCO VarioDoc and AgCommand® systems.

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.
