John Deere CTO Jahmy Hindman kicked off an event at the newly christened John Deere test farm near Elgin TX, northeast of Austin. The event featured a full day of in-depth presentations and in-field demonstrations. Deanna Kovar, John Deere’s VP of Production and Precision Ag Systems, recapped some of the key milestones for John Deere precision agriculture since its founding in 1837. These milestones include the introduction of GPS – Navcom in the 1990s, which enabled JD to deploy autosteering for tractors, and the introduction of IOT infrastructure to the farm in early 2010. Autosteer is now an option on every modern John Deere tractor, and grain wagons can sync with the combine during the harvest to reduce the mental stress and fatigue on the combine driver.
