John Deere Precision Upgrades offers the Precision Essentials Program that is targeted at upgrading your whole-farm precision ag technology operating system.
The Precision Essentials Program offers a whole new way of moving customers forward in technology adoption on their farm. This is a new business model for hardware and software, lowering the upfront cost so customers can adopt the latest technology quickly while giving them the flexibility to only pay for what their farm needs.
What is included in the Precision Essentials Program?
