Corn Belt Farmer Shares Experience with Sprayer Technology

Leadership Lessons: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***
In this blog from SeedWorld, Shawn Brook explains why leadership is an ongoing balancing act of carling deeply about what matters while letting go of what doesn’t. We all have a limited number of f*cks to give on any given day,” Brook says. “Just like we have a limited number of hours in a day or weeks in our lives … our energy is finite. Leadership means paying attention to where you invest your energy — and helping your team do the same. A culture of caring isn’t about spreading yourself thin trying to care about everything; it’s about focusing on what truly matters to the individual and to the team.”
Understanding John Deere’s New License Model for Technology
