Rantizo Connects AcreConnect Software with John Deere

IOWA CITY, IA  – Rantizo, the largest drone spraying network in the country, announces its proprietary AcreConnect productivity software is now connected with the John Deere Operations Center through the John Deere API services. This connection allows Rantizo to significantly enhance the value of AcreConnect by enabling spray drone operators to easily share application maps with customers on Operations Center.

“AcreConnect is the only provider of as applied and as covered maps for both DJI and XAG spray drones, so we are excited to bring this valuable data to growers and retailers through John Deere Operations Center,” said Mariah Scott, CEO. “We’re building a software ecosystem that makes it easier for our operators to deliver top-notch service to their customers.”

Using AcreConnect with Operations Center allows operators to share ‘As Covered’ and ‘As Applied’ Maps directly with customers. This ensures that spray records are included with other application information and field data, giving growers and retailers a more comprehensive view of their operations. This holistic approach to data management facilitates better decision-making, leading to improved operational efficiency and productivity.

“Connecting AcreConnect to the John Deere Operations Center truly supports our promise to deliver better service,” said Jeff Holman, Chief Product Technology Officer (CPTO). “Both independent operators and those at retail locations, stand to gain significant value from their ability to share application data directly to a grower’s account.”

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.
