John Deere Brings Enhanced Machine Connectivity to Rural Farms with JDLink Boost

John Deere announced today the release of JDLink® Boost™, a satellite connectivity solution to ensure customers continue seamless work in fields with little to no cellular coverage. The new JDLink Boost option supports the partnership, announced a year ago, between John Deere and Starlink by SpaceX network, providing farmers who face rural connectivity challenges with the opportunity to fully leverage precision agriculture technologies.  

“JDLink Boost brings a game-changing solution to farmers by streamlining connectivity and providing seamless access to critical data that drives informed decision-making,” said Ryan Stien, John Deere go-to-market manager for digital technologies. “We’re proud to deliver technology that not only empowers farmers to operate more efficiently and effectively today but also lays the foundation for the future of agriculture.”

Funded by Sask Wheat, the Wheat Pre-Breeding Chair position was established to enhance cereal research breeding and training activities in the USask Crop Development Centre (CDC) by accelerating variety development through applied genomics and pre-breeding strategies.

“As the research chair, Dr. Valentyna Klymiuk will design and deploy leading-edge strategies and technologies to assess genetic diversity for delivery into new crop varieties that will benefit Saskatchewan producers and the agricultural industry,” said Dr. Angela Bedard-Haughn (PhD), dean of the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at USask. “We are grateful to Sask Wheat for investing in USask research as we work to develop the innovative products that strengthen global food security.”

With a primary focus on wheat, Klymiuk’s research will connect discovery research, gene bank exploration, genomics, and breeding to translate gene discovery into improved varieties for Saskatchewan’s growing conditions.
