Corn & Soy Solutions Architect Grant Wonderlich explains how John Deere's new ExactShot system works alongside ExactEmerge to improve fertilizer placement on each seed while planting.

This saves on both time re-filling the fertilizer as well as using less fertilizer overall further reducing input costs.
