00:00:00 Getting a return on investment from your Precision Ag technology in the off season. That's the topic in this episode 00:00:06 of Extreme Ag Cutting the Curve. Welcome to Extreme ags Cutting the Curve podcast, where real farmers share real insights 00:00:13 and real results to help you improve your farming operation. And now here's your host, Damien Mason. 00:00:21 Hey there. Welcome to another fantastic episode of Extreme Ask. Cutting the curve. I've got a good one for you today 00:00:25 because you know what, I'm recording this around Christmas time and, and it's off season, right? We know that the harvest is done. You're all excited. 00:00:32 And what do farmers always used to talk about when I was a kid growing up? What do you do in the off season if you're a grain farmer? 00:00:37 Well, I fix equipment now that I think has always been a nice go-to, but really how much fixing 00:00:42 of equipment is there really to be done in the off season? I have something you can do in the off season 00:00:47 that's gonna make you a lot of money. Instead of a $30 an hour job, it might be a $500 an hour job in terms 00:00:52 of the return you're gonna get. We're talking about your technology, the stuff that you have on your farm between your phone, 00:00:58 your op center, and the stuff that's in that equipment, that expensive machinery. You know what? Why not utilize that technology 00:01:05 and use it to your benefit? It's there for you. Are you maximizing it? Likely not, but you can be this off season. 00:01:11 That's why I've got Ryan Steen and I've got Christopher Murray. Christopher Murray is, I gotta read this. 00:01:17 He's the John Deere go-to market manager manager with Advanced Software. Ryan is the John Deere, 00:01:22 go-to market manager digital products. This is the, this is like the brain trust of dudes you want on your side to utilize them. 00:01:29 The equipment you have. Admit it, you like your technology, it makes your farming life easier, 00:01:35 but you're maybe not maximizing it as much as you can be. Here's the two guys that are gonna help you maximize it. 00:01:40 Alright? Start with you Ryan. You and I recorded before about this. Um, it's the off season. Yeah, it's nice work on stuff. 00:01:48 Great. How can I maximize my technology and investment? What can I be doing right now? Start me out, Damian. So when we talked 00:01:57 last time, we, we hit on a topic around work plans and work plans. Um, if, if folks weren't listening to 00:02:04 that last one are about making sure that when the machine gets to the field, that the products that are going on the field, the seed, the chemical, 00:02:13 the fertilizer that are going down and the planting and the application job are laid out correctly. And if you're here and it's, you know, we're talking it's 00:02:22 before Christmas or after harvest, you might be looking at your data and maybe you're looking and trying to figure out 00:02:27 what your varieties look like and you see a lot of one variety, one variety, dash, dash things that aren't really meaningful to you as a farmer 00:02:36 because we didn't have the right information at the display on the tractor when it needed to happen. 00:02:43 Mm-hmm. So as we go into this, this wintertime, this is a great chance to start kind of doing the maintenance on your data. 00:02:50 So setting, we talk about setting up work plans and making sure that the products that seed the chemical, the fertilizer that you're gonna put, 00:02:58 that our farmers are gonna put on the field this spring are represented in their operation center. And that, that becomes important 00:03:06 because when we want to make those high ROI decisions, I want to go back and understand which variety actually performed the best on my acres, 00:03:14 which if I tried a different fertilizer plan, which one performed the best? I, I need to have great data coming into 00:03:20 my operation center. And that starts with really making sure that my operation center reflects what's in my, 00:03:26 what's in my machine shed at Home. Okay. So I'm hearing here, Christopher, you can help me out here. 00:03:30 Um, you know, I don't run machinery all day long, but I, if I did, I can see where, what I think I'm hearing is during the season I wanted 00:03:37 to keep going, you know, make hay while the sun shines kind of a thing. But now this time of year I'm looking at it, I'm like, well, 00:03:43 I got the yield and I got the yield map and I know, but over there on that, uh, on that, uh, k clipper farm, I, I show, I, I show I don't, I don't have I, 00:03:52 what the hell did I plant there? And so you're saying update it from the standpoint, make sure the inputs in the, in the, uh, 00:03:59 technology match what really happened. That way I can make competent decisions based on what the, the, the, the old thing is, the computer's only good as good 00:04:09 as the information that's fed into the computer. That's what I'm hearing. You're exactly right. 00:04:14 And you know, Damien, you talk about in the off season and, and Ryan kind of highlighted, you know, 00:04:19 really setting it up today, no one like sitting on the turn row of a field, especially in planting season 00:04:26 and trying to input what variety, what fertilizer rate, all those things, um, that they in the heat of the moment might not think are overly important. 00:04:36 And so this is a great time to set it up in John Deere Operations center and make sure it gets to that machine. 00:04:41 That way it's ready to go when you pull in the field, that information's already there in the tractor or sprayer and you're ready to go to work, 00:04:50 not sit and play on a display. Yeah. Now I pull it up and I'm like, okay, I'm in the, the, the Clipper 120 acre field 00:04:57 and I know that it was this seed variety and then we, we treat it with this, this fungicide and we had this herbicide program and this fertility. 00:05:04 Okay. Um, one of the questions that, uh, we posed before we hit the record button was the most, most important thing, the first thing a grower can do 00:05:12 before the next crop. You just talked about updating it so it's accurate. Now I've got it up updated. Shouldn't I analyze that? 00:05:19 Because as you said, when does go time come spring? I, I wanna already know what, what I'm doing. Yeah. So when we talk about this time of year, 00:05:29 if you've done those steps, you've got really clean data that's in your operation center, now's the time to sit down 00:05:34 and kind of reflect on what performed well in the last year on my fields and, and a few things from an agronomic side 00:05:41 that really come to the surface. Um, in the Operation Center tool, there's a fe functionality called Work analyzer. 00:05:49 And what it lets you do as a farmer is you can look at performance by variety. It's one of the top things that is on every farmer's mind. 00:05:58 A lot of input goes into my seed choice, my variety choice, what, what worked on my farm, right? 00:06:04 So I don't necessarily want to hear the aggregate numbers, but on my acres, what I grew, what worked and what didn't. 00:06:11 So that's an area that we point farmers to quite a bit because there's, um, you know, a farmer I worked with Damian this last year had a field 00:06:18 that historically was their underperforming field, right? It's one, you look at the acres over time 00:06:23 lowest yield existed. Um, but they found a variety. And on that variety, they planted six varieties on this field for 88 acre field. 00:06:32 Um, one of the varieties was actually the top yielding variety across all of their acres on their lowest performing field. 00:06:40 Yep. So when you start thinking about return on investment, finding those nuggets of what works on my specific field all 00:06:46 of a sudden is talking 15 to 20 bushel Yeah. Difference over others throughout the, just within a single field. 00:06:54 Um, so making that decision, finding what works and then repeating it to grow the results is really what that data analysis can drive for our farmers. 00:07:03 I love that example, real world example, because it'd be very easy to say, first off, you've already got the investment in the technology 00:07:09 and if you're, if you're not doing a trial and you're not doing that or you're not keeping up with it, then all of a sudden yeah, 00:07:15 that farm's crappy farm, it never returns. No, wait a minute. We just proved that it could, if you would actually go there and in that example, 15 00:07:23 or 20 bushel difference, you know, at four bucks that's 80, that's it's 80 bucks. That and at we're in a almost break 00:07:30 even come out of the environment. I'll take that 80 bucks all day long. Christopher Murray, you got any examples on the analysis 00:07:36 of data and how maybe there's some producers that aren't utilizing the tools as effectively as they can? 00:07:44 Yeah, and and my example's gonna be really machine focused here in specifically around, um, the technology 00:07:51 that we call G five Advanced. So this is advanced technology that includes like turn automation on a John Deere tractor 00:07:58 auto path that's full field guidance planning, um, in turn automation. So those are just some of the technology that is 00:08:06 included in G five advanced. Um, real world example of, um, in 2024, we launched what we call auto path boundaries. 00:08:16 So any field that has driven boundaries, um, the customer can create in John Deere operation Center before they even get to the field, um, their path plan 00:08:27 so they can go out and again, when they get there, that path plan is optimized for the direction they want to go. 00:08:33 Whether it's tillage planting or seeding or even spraying for that matter. And it is going to provide the most efficient way 00:08:40 for the machine to get across the field. And we provide these updates throughout the year. There's three different updates that 00:08:47 customers can update now on display in the machine and take advantage of this technology. So we had a real world example of a customer 00:08:56 who had been farming a field for many years, and in 2024 they updated their software, they took advantage of auto path boundaries 00:09:08 and when they put in the information and Operation Center, the heading angle that they wanted to go across that field, they were able to optimize it. 00:09:18 They went from 130 passes, what they'd been normally going across this field, right? They reduced it to 86 passes. 00:09:26 So you gave me that number again from what to what? Yeah, They went from 130 to 86 passes. 00:09:32 So they've been farming this field for ages, same, Same equipment, Same equipment, no equipment changes. The technology allowed them to make the most, um, 00:09:43 efficient pass all the way across the field. So year over year they've just been farming it the way they always had, right? 00:09:48 And so auto path boundaries gave them that flexibility and showed them before they ever pulled in the field that hey, there's a better way to do this. 00:09:58 And so if you think about the return on investment, right? Like less diesel fuel used, less def in their machine 00:10:06 depreciation on their tractor and implement all those things come into play and not just on the tractor and say planter, 00:10:14 but also sprayer and harvester. So this can pay back all the way across every time they pay, they go to that field. Well, 00:10:23 What's interesting is, you know, we, we talk a lot about, okay, you know, farmers are always about whittling the, 00:10:30 you know, they want to always get the cheapest price, you know, and I make the crack that farmers are cheap and that's fine. 00:10:34 I'm a farmer, I'm frugal, but this is savings that you didn't have to go and whittle anybody. You were the one, you were the one 00:10:41 that was being gr you were the one that was overspending. You know what I mean? Correct. This isn't on your vendor, 00:10:46 your supplier, your retailer, your it's, it's you and that number you talk about. If you said, oh yeah, gosh, we went from 00:10:55 9 89 pass passes through the field to 86. I'm like, yeah, that's blowing in the wind. Big deal. But what you're talking about is significant wear and tear. 00:11:03 I mean our on a million dollar piece of equipment is of depreciation is a significant amount of money, right? Uh, diesel fuel at whatever it is, four 50 is significant. 00:11:12 Not to mention an employee that runs that piece of equipment has a valuable hour. So, you know, you're talking about 00:11:18 a lot of hours right there. Alright. Um, you are working on a different outline than me, than what our girl Kelly gave us. 00:11:23 So I'm just gonna go ahead and stick with your outline since you're talking about setting boundaries, auto path boundaries, um, 00:11:29 what do I need to do that? Do I, do I have the proper thing and what, what do I need to make sure I can, 00:11:36 because I I want to save passes on my fields also. Sure. How do I do it? What do I need? Yep. So whether you have a, our, what we call our Gen four 00:11:45 or G five series of displays, and we have either Automation 4.0 license for the Gen four or G five advanced license for the G five display. 00:11:58 Um, those licenses unlock the capability to use that Auto Path Boundaries tool that I just talked about. Okay. And, um, that's a, a yearly fee. 00:12:09 So you pay for it upfront and then you get to use it. And then like I said, as we have updates, you download those for free onto your display 00:12:17 and you get the enhancements throughout the year. All right. So, uh, moving then on, you said something about software, 00:12:26 and I'm gonna go to this other part of, uh, where I've got a few questions, uh, software, um, updates. 00:12:35 So you just said G 4G five, that's my display. Yes, That's yep. That's your display. But is there a chance that I have outdated software 00:12:44 that I, and, and I don't know if I have to pay to get the refresh or if it's just that some farmers get busy 00:12:51 and next thing you know, they're two years behind on software and all they really need to do is take a couple of hours 00:12:55 and download new stuff. Is that what it is? Absolutely. So the software updates are free. They're on stellar support.deer.com 00:13:03 and you're exactly right. You know, you're not using your harvester in the springtime or the summer typically. 00:13:11 And I'm thinking, I'm speaking of the Midwest here, but, uh, you know, Yeah, I mean the per the person 00:13:16 that's maybe in the Great Plain says, what are you talking about? I use my harvester all summer, 00:13:20 I all all correct all summer long. I'm, uh, here, uh, harvesting wheat. I mean, Ryan, is he being discriminatory? 00:13:25 I mean, what about the guys in the Palouse that are like wheat farmers on those fields that like, are, are sloped like that? 00:13:31 We, we'll Give 'em a pass. Damian, I spent the time in Eastern Colorado myself, so like I got a lot of love for the great plain states, 00:13:38 but we, we we'll give it a pass this time. Yeah, we're good. Well, I, I appreciate the grace, gentlemen, 00:13:42 but you're exactly right. So, so if you think about when your use season is for your harvester, right? 00:13:49 So if you're wheat all summer long and then fall grains, um, you're using that at a very specific time. 00:13:57 And we release software updates three times a year and it's not always the top thing on, on a customer's mind. And so again, they can go out there to stellar support, 00:14:06 do dear.com, and they can look for the latest software update and they can download it. Okay? It's free of charge. 00:14:13 And, um, again, if they have an advanced license, those advanced technologies we'll be unlocked for them. Ryan, I gotta tell you, um, sometimes as you get older, 00:14:25 and I'm not implying that you're older than Ryan, I'm, I'm guessing you're probably, you know, uh, I mean, anyway, I'm older than Ryan, But sometimes as you get older 00:14:33 what you notice is things get away from you more quickly than they used to. Like all of a sudden you're like, 00:14:39 what the hell are you talking about? This needs updated. I just updated it. And you look at it, you realize, yeah, 00:14:45 that was three years ago. And at the pace of technological innovation, three years, might as well be a century. 00:14:52 The very computer that I'm recording this on right now, um, a couple of weeks ago, my friend Will, the guy 00:14:58 that's gonna be editing this very episode of Extreme Acts cutting the curve, who's the behind the scenes producer, director, editor guy said, 00:15:06 wait a minute, what software version are you on? I said, I'm sure it's updated. I said, this, heck, it's a new computer. 00:15:13 I was five versions of software behind on my Apple computer, which was again, a couple of years worth 00:15:20 that really drove a point home to me. This, this stuff on these tractor sprayers and combines is just like the laptop on this desk right here 00:15:29 or this smartphone in your hand right here. So I think that one of your key points should be update the software. 00:15:35 It doesn't cost you anything other than you've gotta do it. It takes the time. 00:15:40 And I think it's like the same, same thing of like changing your engine oil, right? Like either the time you take to do that, 00:15:45 it's annual maintenance on your tractor, you gotta change the oil, it's annual maintenance on your tractor, you update your software. 00:15:51 It's, it's no difference. It's just a, um, one that can pay an equal type of dividend for making sure that you're getting 00:15:58 the most outta that equipment. I like it. Next thing on the list that those provided that you think is important 00:16:04 for getting return on investment from your precision Ag technology during the off season check permissions. I'm not sure I know what that means, so I need to defer 00:16:14 to one of the two tech gurus from John Deere. Ryan. What does that mean? Yeah, so Damien, when we talk about, 00:16:21 we use the term permissions, um, if you're someone who uses operation center, um, first off, you're not, you should go to operation center deere.com, check it out. 00:16:29 It is a free tool for whether you farm with John Deere or not John Deere equipment completely free to use. Uh, But I do not, I can operation center, no matter what color 00:16:38 of machinery I run, No matter what color machinery you run, if it's non John Deere displays, um, 00:16:44 data comes in from nearly all the major displays that are manufactured Today. Got it. 00:16:49 So, but to the permissions, Damien, so if you're, if you're a farmer today, uh, likely you don't farm alone, likely you have help of a, maybe an equipment dealer, 00:16:58 maybe you have an agronomist who you work with, an ag retailer, um, a seed sales individual. There's a lot of folks who you farm with every day who 00:17:09 may need access to the data that you farm with. So they need, if you work with a seed sales person, hey, I might want to see how the yields are coming on a specific 00:17:18 seed variety so I can make better recommendations to you the next year. Um, if you work with a John Deere dealer, 00:17:24 they can get access to see your equipment, um, if it needs maintenance, if there's proactive alerts. So there's a number of reasons to grant permission. Mm-hmm. 00:17:34 Uh, but in, in Operation center, under set up and in team, you as a farmer control who sees that data and who has access and what level of access. 00:17:44 So just like you're talking about software updates and, you know, every year and how time can get away from you, 00:17:50 if you've maybe changed agronomist or you work with a different individual now than you did before, you want to go back in 00:17:57 and make sure that the people who you've granted permission to are the ones you still want to have 00:18:01 Permission access to the information. So absolutely, the point is, I can make it, you know, if I'm working with Joe, the agronomist 00:18:09 and Cindy, the, uh, you know, I don't know, whatever it would be, you know, financial advisor, whatever. Mm-hmm. I can make all this stuff available to 'em 00:18:16 and all of a sudden one of 'em flies the coop. I gotta uncheck their permission and give access to the next person. 00:18:22 Absolutely. And that's completely in the farmer's control to choose who they wanna do that with. 00:18:26 Just made me think. So like the password to my retirement account, my ex-wife shouldn't have all that. 00:18:32 Is that what you're telling me? Ryan? That's probably a good idea. I, I'd cut that one off. Change 00:18:37 That password. I actually don't have an ex-wife, so this is, this is makes my life easier. 00:18:40 I don't need to worry about that. Uh, appreciate that. All right, Christopher, um, connecting machines, what, what am I talking about during the off 00:18:50 season, connecting 'em to what? Connect 'em to the feed grinder. What am I connecting 'em to? I'm being facetious. Yeah, 00:18:54 No, you bet. Uh, you know, um, we're talking connecting them to John Deere Operation Center. 00:18:59 So back in 2014, John Deere started, um, started installing what we call a JD link modem in all the 00:19:07 machines that left the factory. And that allows those machines to talk through the cloud to on John Deere Operation Center. 00:19:14 So as it's sending seeding data as you're planting, um, as it's sending, spraying and harvesting data as you're doing those jobs, um, 00:19:22 the JD Link modem does that. And so just a couple years ago we came out with, uh, two new modems. 00:19:28 We have a r version modem and an M version modem. The R version is what would, uh, come in new equipment coming from the factory. 00:19:37 And the M modem is more of like our universal JD link modem, and we can put that on anything 00:19:45 that has 12 volts on your farm. So as we're coming into the spring season, think about a tender truck, um, whether it's seed tender 00:19:54 or for your sprayer, um, that semi-truck, uh, the end modem allows you to install it, um, fairly quickly and they can send data to John Deere operations center. 00:20:04 And why that's important is you think about farm logistics. So as you have machines running in the field, 00:20:10 and again, if you're spraying or planting, what's the last thing you wanna do? Stop and sit, right? Yep. 00:20:16 So as that John Deere piece of equipment, or maybe you have a non John Deere piece of equipment, we can put that m modem on a, uh, a non Deere piece 00:20:25 of equipment and it can share data like fuel levels for instance. And, and again, you can use that 00:20:31 to manage all the machinery running on your farm through operation center mobile or the web version, and make sure that you have the right machines, the right 00:20:41 chemicals, the right, um, fuel, wherever you need it, um, as those jobs are being done. 00:20:48 Um, so connecting this, I mean, like, I'm trying to think of, I'm trying to compare it to like, this computer needs 00:20:55 to be connected to that printer right there. Is it that, is it like that? Do I have to go park 'em 00:20:59 next to each other so they see each other? No, it's, it's using cellular technology. So, um, they don't have to be next to it. 00:21:06 You just install the JD link modem in the machine and it'll start, uh, sending the data from the machine to John Deere operation center. 00:21:15 Yeah. Damien, maybe if you're, like, if you're an iPhone person and you ever pull it up and it says, find my phone, find my iPhone, 00:21:20 and you have the map of all your families Yeah. Phones and stuff. It starts, it's a little bit more in that realm, so you know where things you're 00:21:27 Not only, so I can just push, I can just push it and it'll connect to the sprayer, it'll connect to this, it'll connect to, okay, 00:21:33 It's actually connecting your operation center. So you know, you have the whole view of where it's at. Um, some, some neat things even 00:21:39 that we've had in recent years, like speed alerts. So maybe if you have seasonal health that's coming through, they're running your pickup trucks, maybe I don't want 00:21:47 that folks be running my pickup trucks at 80 miles an hour down the gravel road. Yeah. I can set a speed alert, Hey, let me know when 00:21:53 that truck gets over 55 miles an hour mm-hmm. Or 60 miles an hour, and I can keep a pulse on what's happening in each 00:22:01 piece of equipment on my farm. I'll tell you what, Matt Miles, uh, one of the founders of Extreme Ag, it was my first year of working with them. 00:22:08 We recorded the episode and he pointed out that very thing. He said, I've got a lot of employees, we cover a lot 00:22:13 of acres and a couple, three counties. Obviously I can't be everywhere, you know, we got a business to run. 00:22:18 And, uh, yeah, he, he kept, he kept noticing that one of his guys was somehow always underperforming, always slower. 00:22:25 And the guy always had an excuse, but then they put the big brother technology to him like, Hey, he's pulling over and, 00:22:31 and jacking around for, you know, several hours a, a day or napping or whatever the hell he is doing. 00:22:35 So to your point, exactly, hey, um, I'm a late adopter, middle, middle adapter kind of person. I'm not Mr. Tech savvy. 00:22:43 To the farmer listening to this, this might sound a little overwhelming. They might just say, you know what, I'm gonna go 00:22:50 and change oil and uh, and wrench on stuff because that's what I know how to do. This sounds too hard for me, 00:22:55 but I'm guessing it's actually more user friendly. Like you used the example of just turning it on and it starts showing you, and it's just pushing things. 00:23:01 Is it, am I gonna be overwhelmed doing all these things we just talked about? Not the data side. 00:23:07 Let's say you start, we just left off Damien, if I'm connecting equipment Yep. Start there. You're just adding another icon onto your map. 00:23:16 Just like if you have, you know, your son or daughter gets an iPhone, it shows up on your find my iPhone. 00:23:21 It's the same type of thing. You're just adding another piece. You touch it, you can add an alert to it. 00:23:26 It's very, very user intuitive on that front. Mr. Murray, Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead. No, 00:23:33 no, no, you're good. Mr. Murray. You would, you would concur that the person that is a late adapter 00:23:38 and they're like, I don't know man, this is, this is all too tech, tech, tech mumbo jumbo for me. I'm guessing actually once you dig into this, 00:23:45 it's actually pretty user-friendly. It is.
