Many factors go into managing and maintaining a successful farming operation. As technology within the agriculture space grows, so do the options that farmers and ranchers have for maintaining their operational data. Precision agriculture uses information technology to record, analyze, and act upon to ensure that crops and soil achieve optimal health and productivity.
As the world population grows and the number of farmable acres shrinks, precision agriculture rises in importance. The goal of precision agriculture is to ensure profitability, sustainability and protection of the environment. At C & B, we are proud to deliver the dominant precision agriculture technology that John Deere is known for.
Data Systems in Operations Today
The technology available today from John Deere enables seamless connectivity between machines, people, technology and insights to give your operation measurable results and insights to take action on.
Precision agriculture offers technology to help in every step of the production process. From TruSet™ in land preparation, ExactApply™ during spraying and ExactEmerge™ into planting all the way through harvest management with Combine Advisor and Machine Sync.
When using a connected machine, your data is accessible in the John Deere Operations Center™ for offsite set up and management. Whether you are using the web based version or the mobile app, integrating with the John Deere Operations Center™ is the best way to measure and manage your operation data.

Taking Action within Technology
By updating your displays to John Deere Gen 4, such as a 4600 Command Center or a 4640 Universal Display, you are accessing the latest precision agriculture technology that John Deere provides. That technology includes AutoPath™ and in field data sharing.
Upcoming technology in the realm of receivers will enable satellite use instead of base stations when the StarFire™ 7000 is released. The StarFire™ 7000 will be integrated from the factory on new machines as well as universal models will be available. These precision agriculture updates will increase accuracy and reliability for producers.
With cellular providers discontinuing 3G service after December 31, 2021, and JDLink now being free, it has never been more important to update your 2G or 3G machines to a 4G. In order to continue data streaming and remote assistance, an update to 4G is required. Contact your local C & B to discuss what 4G options make the most sense for your operation.
