In an exciting development for the agricultural industry, John Deere has forged a groundbreaking partnership with PCT AgCloud, offering advanced solutions for grain and cotton growers. This collaboration aims to empower farmers by providing them with actionable insights and cutting-edge software tools to optimize their operations and drive better agronomic outcomes.
Grain Insights: Unleashing the Power of HarvestLab 3000 Grain Sensing
The agreement between John Deere and PCT AgCloud enables small grains, corn, and soybean growers utilizing the HarvestLab 3000 Grain Sensing technology to unlock a wealth of valuable information. By harnessing PCT AgCloud’s Protein Pro software, farmers can generate actionable insights for their operations. Protein Pro facilitates automated cleaning, editing, multiple machine corrections, intersecting zone creation, and nitrogen removal and product placement data within the John Deere Operations Center. By combining protein and yield map layers, Protein Pro empowers farmers to make informed decisions for their future crop years. They can generate profit maps, nutrient application maps, monitor plant health, and optimize yield based on soil capability. This integration of technology promises to revolutionize the way grain growers approach their farming practices.
Cotton Farmers: Enhancing Cotton Quality with Linked Cotton
John Deere and PCT AgCloud’s collaboration also extends to cotton farming, with the introduction of Linked Cotton. This innovative solution revolutionizes cotton quality assessment and management. Cotton growers can now create cotton quality layers by importing manual gin data and seamlessly integrating it with CottonHost. This integration streamlines the process of importing bale quality data, enabling automatic post-calibration of yield once gin quality data is available. In cases where gin data is unavailable, yield calibration is automatically adjusted based on weight from the module weighing system. Farmers can conveniently link Harvest Identification, Cotton Pro data directly to yield data from the Operations Center. The Linked Cotton app allows farmers to import gin data effortlessly via API or CSV, ensuring all quality information is linked to the module and yield points.
Linked Cotton serves as an indispensable tool for farmers, providing accurate post-harvest yield calibration, trial information results, and loss assessments affected by weather conditions. It empowers farmers to gain valuable insights into the impact of operational, management, and agronomic factors on cotton quality. When integrated with the Operations Center, farmers gain access to advanced analytics for soil mapping and other enhanced cotton data features.
The partnership between John Deere and PCT AgCloud marks a significant leap forward in the agricultural industry. By combining cutting-edge technology and advanced software tools, these solutions empower farmers to make data-driven decisions, optimize their operations, and maximize their yields. The future of grain and cotton farming is poised for transformative change as these innovative insights become increasingly accessible to farmers around the world.
