Members of John Deere’s dealer network were invited to participate in the Develop with Deere Conference for the first time this year, providing dealers with a valuable opportunity to gain and insight and understanding of the upcoming developments they will soon be marketing to their customers.

Justin Blanchette is the VP of Integrated Solutions at Arends Hogan Walker, a dealer with 16 John Deere stores in eastern Illinois and western Indiana. He sat down with AgWired during the Develop with Deere Conference to discuss his experience as an attendee and why he believes it was a valuable opportunity.

“It’s very intriguing to see the technology coming to fruition and to finally be able to apply these in a platform and execute on some of the data we’ve been harvesting for years,” he said. “There’s a lot of good stuff on the horizon, and I think there’s some exciting stuff in our future.”
