Although water is much needed today — and certainly will be in the future — not everyone understands the demand for and the availability of this essential resource. John Deere does. We offer products and services aimed specifically at helping customers conserve precious water. In fact, John Deere Water is one of the largest water irrigation companies in the world, providing high-performance micro-irrigation and drip-irrigation products for the agricultural, nursery, and greenhouse markets. These irrigation methods improve not only water use efficiency, but also yields.

Another John Deere division — John Deere Green Tech — provides field engineering for irrigation control equipment. Green Tech developed a generator that produces electricity from water flowing through pipes. The device yields enough energy to power a landscape irrigation controller system or other functions such as low-power lighting or data-logging systems.

It's amazing what new technology can do for you. Make your life easier. Simpler. More productive. And save you time and money. At John Deere, we know that the best technology can do all these things, as well as help the environment.

For example, by using GPS (Global Positioning System), we can increase machine efficiency and productivity in many operations. Besides helping to steer equipment, our precision GPS technology helps control equipment functions, from field preparation through harvest. Seeding equipment can use GPS to control where to seed, helping prevent wasteful overlap or planting through waterways. Machines that apply crop protection products and fertilizers use GPS with other machine intelligence technology, as well. That leads to more precise application of crop care products. Less waste, less environmental impact.

Combines use machine intelligence features that deliver automatic feed rate control, assisted steering for higher efficiency, and less fuel consumption.

Of course, saving time in the field also dramatically reduces fuel use. The John Deere Load Command system can reduce the time needed to load a self-propelled sprayer from as much as 15 minutes to as little as 3 minutes. Over a growing season, that saves hours of field time and gallons of fuel.

With our forestry equipment, machines are designed for maximum efficiency, productivity, and minimal environmental disturbance. For example, Forestry skidders with lockup torque converters make better use of available horsepower. Because John Deere machines use fuel more efficiently, less fuel is needed overall for each operation. Design is a factor, too. For instance, booms on some of our forestry machines can extend beyond 30 feet in many cases, reducing machine movement and requiring less fuel.

Our 844K Loader features ride control to navigate jobsites more quickly. And intelligent shifting technology matches clutch engagement to the load. Many of our machines have Total Machine Control, an electro-hydraulic system that automates many functions.

Greater productivity. Less time at the task. More fuel efficiency. All born of John Deere technology and our commitment to improve and protect your life and our environment.

Why would John Deere — a company founded on a plow that revolutionized tilling — pioneer no-till farming practices? Because for many farmers, no-till farming makes sense. No-till leaves crop residue on the soil surface, improving soil structure, conserving moisture, and reducing soil erosion. Yet no-till farming does require sensible management and machinery solutions. John Deere continues to provide the support and products no-till farmers need to make their chosen production method successful and sustainable.
