Abstract :
The more efficient that farmers farm the more profits they have at sale of their crops. They achieve more efficiency through modern technologies. The technologies include the AFS system by the Case International Company, IntelliSteer by the New Holland Corporation, Fieldstar, Auto-Guide, SGIC systems by the Agco Corporation, and GreenStar system by the John Deere Company. The John Deere Company was formed to manufacture equipment and products, which provide constant improvements in the farming industry. The company is improving the farming industry using a number of Agriculture Management Solutions systems. The systems include the GreenStar system that helps farmers drive a parallel line or drives the line for them using the AutoTrac option. The StarFire position receiver tells the farmer where he/she is in the field from GPS satellites. The JDOffice helps the farm managers keep track of their fields´ production and machines. The JDLink sends data from a computer in the tractor to one in the manager´s office telling what may be wrong with the machine. With Harvest Doc, the farmer can receive and track information on the yields and moisture content of his crops. These technologies help to keep John Deere in the forefront of farming technology
