07 By physically collecting and calculating true bushelsper-acre losses, the SmartPan System ensures that automated settings align with actual field conditions. Farmers can drop the pan at any point during harvest, compare SmartPan results to their John Deere G5Plus display, and fine-tune machine settings accordingly. This integration helps operators maintain productivity while keeping losses below their defined limits. Under the agreement, John Deere dealers across the US and Canada will sell and support the SmartPan System, giving farmers streamlined access through the same trusted network they rely on for combines and technology integration. “We are excited to partner with John Deere, marking a major milestone in our growth and global reach,” said Marcel Kringe, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bushel Plus. “John Deere’s commitment to innovation, as the world’s largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment, aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver market leading harvest optimization solutions and technology. This milestone showcases our team’s global efforts and the trust farmers place in our technology. The positive feedback we receive— showing that our solutions deliver real value and profitability—is truly humbling. With OEM endorsement, the phrase ‘you can’t manage what you don’t measure’ reaches a whole new level.” According to Kringe, the SmartPan System provides farmers with immediate, actionable intelligence that strengthens harvest precision, equipment efficiency, and crop management decisions. “Seedtoharvest precision is only as good as the data behind it,” he said. “By working hand-in-hand with John Deere, we’re delivering a streamlined flow of data between field measurements and machine analytics, enabling farmers to refine combine calibration and automation for more efficient harvesting, reduced grain loss, and ultimately higher profitability.” The SmartPan System is engineered to support a wide range of crops—including corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, barley, rice, and milo—and is available in multiple pan sizes to fit various John Deere combine models and field conditions. | pag PHOTO: bushelplus.com “BY WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH JOHN DEERE, WE’RE DELIVERING A STREAMLINED FLOW OF DATA BETWEEN FIELD MEASUREMENTS AND MACHINE ANALYTICS, ENABLING FARMERS TO REFINE COMBINE CALIBRATION AND AUTOMATION FOR MORE EFFICIENT HARVESTING, REDUCED GRAIN LOSS, AND ULTIMATELY HIGHER PROFITABILITY.”
