Overview

Moisture levels vary from field to field, plot to plot, but knowing when yield-robbing variances occur isn’t as easy to predict. Now it is with John Deere Field Connect Soil Moisture Monitoring. This straightforward solution helps you pinpoint where crops thrive, resources are protected, and profits soar.
Intuitive and farmer-friendly, the John Deere Field Connect system comes with the full support of your John Deere dealer. Field Connect uses field-installed probes to monitor moisture levels at various depths. It then sends the information to a web-based interface where you can see the data on your computer or mobile device, so you can make timely irrigation decisions from anywhere.
At the office or in the field, you can see if your soil’s moisture levels are balanced and decide what measures need to be taken, like making the call to apply more water to encourage uptake of nutrients, or less water to reduce leaching. Without delay or guesswork, you can advise your crew to make the adjustments needed to protect your yields and reduce costs. With your soil moisture levels balanced, your crops are able to effectively absorb fertilizers and pesticides, promoting higher yields and improved crop quality.
And with new environmental sensors that measure air and soil temperature, wind speed, humidity, solar radiation, rainfall and leaf wetness, you’ll know exactly what’s going on — above the ground and below the surface.
