This collaboration combines Bushel Plus’s proven drop-pan measurement technology with John Deere’s advanced Harvest Settings Automation, delivering farmers the tools to minimize harvest loss, optimize combine performance, and increase profitability. “John Deere and Bushel Plus share a commitment to innovation and farmer success,” commented Ryan Krogh, Global Combine and FEE Business Manager at John Deere. “Our decision to partner was driven by aligned values—both companies prioritize solutions that empower growers to maximize efficiency and profitability.” Krough continued, “This partnership is an important step for us to give our customers access and training to use the SmartPan System in combination with the Harvest Settings Automation technology, giving producers the tools they need to reduce harvest losses and make data driven decisions with confidence.” John Deere’s Harvest Settings Automation automatically adjusts key combine parameters—such as rotor speed, fan speed, concave clearance, and sieve and chaffer settings—in real time to maintain operator-defined limits for grain loss, broken grain, and foreign material. The SmartPan System complements this automation by providing ground-truth data for calibrating loss targets within the Harvest Settings Automation screen. 06 A new partnership integrates the Bushel Plus SmartPan System with John Deere’s Harvest Settings Automation, giving farmers real-time data to reduce grain loss and improve profitability.
