Through this partnership, Climate Corporation FieldView customers using CLAAS telematics will gain secure cloud-to-cloud access to machine-generated insights like yield reports and maps, average grain moisture, as well as a digital record of the field worked – all in one place.

Farmers and contractors operating fleets of machinery from different brands will in the near future be able to securely exchange and view machine data through a common interface called DataConnect. In addition, they will be able to control and monitor their entire machinery fleet using their preferred telematics platform, without having to switch portals or manually transfer data from one system to another.

One of the toughest challenges ag retailers and agronomists have faced in using precision ag technologies is that different software and hardware systems haven’t been able to “talk” to each other, hampering the ability to help producers manage valuable data. Now that is changing with the introduction of AgGateway’s ADAPT software toolkit.

The Trimble Ready configuration on the Lexion combines interfaces with the Claas CANBUS architecture to enable GNSS steering through the Claas guidance infrastructure.

Operators will gain visibility into yield and moisture information through real-time mapping on Ag Leader's InCommand display, data management through AgFiniti and integrated machine guidance using SteerCommand.

Drew Fletcher with Claas of America explains the significance of the introduction of the Xerion tractor to the North America market.

Does precision farming – and controlled traffic operations in particular – demand big investment in electronics technology and new machinery? Not necessarily, says Julian Gold, farm manager at the Hendred Estate in Oxfordshire.
