OLATHE, Kansas  — John Deere (NYSE: DE) announced today the release of a new rate controller, the John Deere Rate Controller 3, an option to control two liquid and/or anhydrous ammonia (NH3) products and up to 16 sections.

The new John Deere Rate Controller 3 delivers an integrated user experience by featuring a new rate controller app within the John Deere display menu.
