Grain marketing: marketing plan builder with price/date target notifications, contract/hedge tracking, grain inventory management, auto-updating revenue from CBOT price data (live markets US and Canada only). Field maps: 'Profit Maps' and a Crop Planner with interactive map visualization; no imagery or agronomy. Inputs: input cost tracking referenced in testimonials only. Equipment: John Deere Operations Center integration and Agrimatics Libra CART (grain cart scale). No elevator/buyer, weather, labor or AI features described. Mobile app on Apple App Store and Google Play.
John Deere Operations Center: Connects field, machine and operator data (tillage, seeding, spraying, harvest) from JDLink-connected Deere machines; non-Deere or unconnected machines can be added and the platform is described as usable 'regardless of type, size, or brand'. 'JD' AI assistant answers natural-language questions over the farm's own Operations Center data; in a limited US Early Access Program as of Sept 2026, broader rollout planned later in 2026, included at no extra charge; a separate 'Help AI' for equipment setup launched Aug 2025. Operator/labor is partial (operator performance comparisons, access permissions, not payroll). Third-party 'Connections' let farmers grant access to connected software companies and advisors (e.g., Ag Leader AgFiniti and PTx FarmENGAGE list Operations Center connections). Mobile: Operations Center Mobile and Equipment Mobile apps (iOS/Android).
