John Deere was back at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this past week. New planting technology called ExactShot was introduced. This technology allows farmers to reduce the amount of starter fertilizer by more than 60 percent. It uses sensors and robotics to place the starter precisely on the seeds as they are being planted, rather than applying a continuous flow of fertilizer down the entire row. A year ago, Deere introduced its fully autonomous tractor at this show.
