John Deere, Kinze Manufacturing, and Ag Leader Technology today announced a collaboration agreement that will make it easier for farmers to integrate each company’s equipment and technology solutions into their farming operation.
The collaboration enables farmers to combine the equipment and digital solutions offered by John Deere, Kinze and Ag Leader. As part of the agreement, farmers operating Kinze and Ag Leader planting and display products will now have the option to seamlessly integrate their agronomic data into the John Deere Operations Center.
The companies have also agreed to resolve all outstanding litigation through an arrangement where John Deere will license planting technology to Kinze and Ag Leader, ensuring their customers continue to have access to the True Speed and SureSpeed technologies.
“At John Deere, we’re proud of the equipment and technology solutions we develop for farmers, but we also know our customers have choices when they make equipment purchase decisions,” said Aaron Wetzel, Vice President of Production & Precision Agriculture Production Systems.
“We put our customers first with this agreement, which will result in a more seamless integration of Kinze planting solutions with John Deere equipment and our technology stack. We remain committed to helping all of our customers, including those with mixed fleets, be more productive, profitable, and sustainable in their operations.”
