- The integration aims to streamline workflows and improve execution accuracy in the field.
Bayer and John Deere Streamline Digital Workflow for U.S. Farmers
Bayer and John Deere have announced a new integration designed to simplify how U.S. farmers and advisors move from agronomic planning to field execution. Beginning this season, customers can wirelessly transfer FieldView™ prescriptions to create Work Plans in John Deere Operations Center™, eliminating the need for physical thumb drives and manual data handling.
For many growers, transferring scripts from the office to equipment has required downloading files, transporting them to multiple fields, and manually configuring in-cab monitors. The new capability connects Bayer’s FieldView platform directly with John Deere Operations Center, allowing prescriptions to be exported digitally and sent to connected equipment.
“This is about making innovation easier to use on every acre,” said Jeremy Williams, Head of Digital Farming at Bayer Crop Science. “Farmers and advisors want simple, reliable ways to turn agronomic plans into action. By connecting FieldView scripts with Operations Center we’re removing friction, reducing setup time, and helping customers capture the full value of solutions like the Preceon Smart Corn System.”
Direct Connectivity Between Bayer's FieldView and Equipment
With the enhanced integration, prescriptions created in FieldView can be wirelessly exported to Operations Center at any time. The system then delivers Work Plans directly to connected John Deere Gen4 and G5 displays, streamlining job setup in the cab.
“Our mutual customers want streamlined workflows, not extra steps in the cab, providing increased efficiency and productivity,” said Chris Winkler, vice president digital software and solutions at John Deere. “By wirelessly delivering Work Plans and prescriptions straight to Operations Center, and to connected John Deere Gen4 and G5 displays, we are simplifying job setup and honoring what customers asked of us.”
In addition to setup simplification, farmers and advisors can monitor job quality in Operations Center while fieldwork is underway. After completion, two-way connectivity enables data to flow back into FieldView, supporting performance analysis and planning for subsequent seasons.
Availability and Rollout
The new capability is currently available to U.S. farmers participating in the Preceon Ground Breakers program. Bayer and John Deere indicated that a broader U.S. launch is expected in the coming weeks, with expansion into other global regions planned later this year.
The companies stated that the integration aligns with efforts to provide a connected digital experience, linking agronomic recommendations with accurate machine execution across farm operations.
