The company has equipped most major machines but says adding new ones is not an issue, as the device will listen to the new machine and send data back to the engineers, so they can interpret the signals and write this into the code for future installs. The option to see live locations and previous paths is also possible – ideal if you need to check how the harvest team is getting on. Here, each machine displays everything from live fuel levels and current rpm to combine yield data, viewable from anywhere with an internet connection. Once the system is fitted – which takes less than an hour – the farmer can see exactly where each machine is via the company’s web-based Farm Command platform. The option for a Fendt sprayer to take yield data and guidance lines from a John Deere combine and use it to apply variable-rate chemical, without the need for an unlock code, is something farmers are very keen to have, the company says. The company openly admits that it probably isn’t popular with the mainstream tractor makers, as its tech allows growers who run multiple-branded fleets to be able to process information from the machine.

These colour-coded maps can show the early onset of a disease outbreak or the beginning of a pest attack for a cost of $1.50/ac. The latter use the company’s Dove satellites to take photos of a farmer’s field, with a resolution down to 3.1m, every 2.7 days during the growing season, sending normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) images back to the farmer. Hiding away in a yellow tent was tech company Farmer Edge, displaying its range of telematics and satellite imagery options. These range from top-grade, super-accurate RTK setups to those designed as a cheap way to get into farm guidance equipment. The US Farm Progress Show is the place to see all the latest in farm machinery developments, including GPS kits.
