AMES, Iowa — The latest firmware update from Ag Leader delivers powerful new guidance line management capabilities that bring flexibility and simplicity directly to AgFiniti. Farmers can now import, view, manage, and export guidance lines all in one place, with no extra software required.
Removing a Pain Point
For many farmers, managing guidance lines has been a persistent pain point. While SMS Ag Leader’s desktop data management software, has been a trusted tool, some users wanted a simpler, more mobile-friendly way to get the job done. With this update, Ag Leader delivers exactly that. Farmers can now manage guidance lines right from their phone, making it easier than ever to stay connected across their entire operation.
Dealers benefit too. Previously unable to remotely access SMS for customer support, dealers can now access guidance line data for faster, more responsive service. In the cab, users save time troubleshooting issues, like lines created in the wrong direction, before they become frustrations. Users can also view and refine lines without losing data. Even organizing and reordering guidance groups is now smoother and more intuitive.
With these improvements, Ag Leader removes barriers in guidance line management, empowering farmers and dealers alike to stay connected, efficient, and in control.
“Ag Leader users could easily import field data like boundaries, prescriptions, and variety maps, but guidance lines remain the missing piece,” said Luke James, dealer success manager. “Farmers want a simpler, more flexible way to bring in their lines with no extra steps or software hurdles. This update makes guidance line management more intuitive and mobile-friendly, helping users manage, import, and export their guidance lines, further strengthening Ag Leader’s position where data flow and usability are key.”
Solution-Based Features
AgFiniti is a cloud-based platform that connects the entire operation, helping farmers make informed decisions and manage data from Ag Leader and third-party systems in one place. This recent enhancement to AgFiniti offers four key features to help farmers better manage their guidance lines.

“This update completes a key piece of AgFiniti’s precision data ecosystem giving farmers and trusted advisors a single, simple place to manage guidance lines,” James said. “It also opens the door for future enhancements like third-party guidance line support, which we plan to unveil in early 2026.” โข
