Successful Farming's Editorial Guidelines Published on April 25, 2023 Close Photo: John Deere John Deere has entered into an allied agreement with PCT Agcloud, a precision agriculture software company, to share data with John Deere Operations Center. Grain insights This agreement will allow small grains, corn, and soybean growers using HarvestLab 3000 Grain Sensing to generate actionable insights through PCT Agcloud's Protein Pro software. Protein Pro helps enable automated cleaning, editing, multiple machine corrections, intersecting zone creation, and nitrogen removal and product placement data in John Deere Operations Center. Protein Pro generates insights by combining protein and yield map layers to drive better agronomic outcomes in following crop years. Farmers will be able to generate profit maps, nutrient application maps, combine and monitor plant health, and manage protein and yield to optimize yield based on soil capability. Cotton farmers Linked Cotton will be available for cotton growers, which will create cotton quality layers from manual gin data imports and integrate with CottonHost, making it possible to automatically import bale quality data. Linked Cotton automatically post calibrates yield once gin quality data is imported. If the data is not available, yield is automatically calibrated to weight from the module weighing system. If that data is not available, the yield can be manually post calibrated from ginned bale data. Farmers can link Harvest Identification, Cotton Pro data directly to the yield data from Operations Center. The app lets farmers import gin data via API or CSV, linking all quality information to the module and yield points. Linked Cotton is designed to give farmers more accurate post-harvest yield calibration, trial information results, and loss assessments from weather. It will give farmers the information to understand the impact on cotton quality from operations, management, and agronomic influences and decision making. When connected to Operations Center farmers can find analytics for soil mapping, and advanced cotton data features. Click for more information about PCT Agcloud's Protein Pro or Linked Cotton.
