The sponsor of precision.agwired.com is John Deere and one of the programs they have devoted to precision farming is called “Reach For The Stars.”

This is an especially timely post with Commodity Classic coming up this week in Tampa, FL. In fact, I’ll be there to bring you all the latest from John Deere at this annual event which is the simultaneous annual meetings of the National Corn Growers Association, the American Soybean Association and the National Association of Wheat Growers.

During Commodity Classic the growers who have been selected to receive a precision ag system in the Reach For the Stars program will be announced. John Deere representative, Seth Crawford explains what the program is all about: Seth Crawford (1 min mp3)

“New AMS solutions are expanding to include functionality on non-John Deere equipment as well,” said Seth Crawford, AMS Marketing Manager. “So I am encouraging all growers, regardless of the color of your equipment, to take advantage of this program, and experience how precision ag can bring more efficiency to your operation.”
