Technology continues to make farm equipment more efficient. John Deere Sales and Marketing Manager Scott Geier says the new balers are no exception. “Now there’s moisture sensor in the baler, there’s also a weighing system,” said Geier. “Specifically with the weighing system, we can generate yield maps based on the tons per acre or even bales per acre and put those into the John Deere Operation Center and use that data to do variable rate fertilizer.” Deere is working with the University of Clemson to determine savings based putting fertilizer where it needs to go.”
