Whether you’re working with corn, soybeans, or everything in between, John Deere’s precision ag technology can help you keep an eye on the performance of your machines.
 
 
However, it goes beyond just machine overview – field prep, planting, spraying, and harvesting are all taken to the next level with John Deere precision ag.
 
Choosing a Display
 
John Deere has a handful of different displays to choose from that work in conjunction with its precision ag technology. Each of these displays also has a different screen size, ranging from 8.4 inches to 10.4 inches, depending on your preference and needs. All of them are touch screen for the utmost convenience and have at least one video camera support. Each display comes with remote display access, and wireless data transfer is an option on most models as well.
 
Selecting a Receiver
 
John Deere has a series of receivers customers can choose from, as well. The StarFire 6000 receiver, for instance, has a range of plus-or-minus nine inches, down to sub-inch accuracy for the precise results. Depending on the receiver operators choose, it may have a delivery method of satellite, radio, or cellular. The pull-in time ranges from less than 30 minutes to less than one minute, depending on the model.

USDA Crop Reports/Trade Deals a Bust + Monster U.S. Corn Crop = Lower Prices

Video: USDA Crop Reports/Trade Deals a Bust + Monster U.S. Corn Crop = Lower Prices


StoneX projects a monster U.S. 2025 corn yield at 186.9 bpa, while the USDA provided no big surprises in the July crop report. A lack of U.S. trade deals/ag purchase agreements after 3-months but rather an escalation/threat in tariffs with 30% to Japan, 25% on South Korea, 35% for Canada and 50% for Brazil/copper is weighing on fund ag sentiment.

Regardless, funds after 3 years continue to chase and pile into Bitcoin ETF’s and the AI trade with NVDA both at new all time record highs and NVDA hitting the $4 trillion market cap first.

U.S. weather remains non-threatening for July and dry areas of Northern Illinois are getting rain.

Western Canada is expected to get periodic rains every 3-4 days with no excessive heat, but farmers are complaining that the rain chances very seldom materialize.

U.S. border to Mexican feeder cattle closes again to screwworm and should remain closed but this combined with new U.S. tariffs for Brazil means less supplies and a continuation of the bull market in cattle.
