Read on for more information or head into one of our locations in Southern Wisconsin. We proudly serve the cities of Columbus, Jackson, Janesville, Prairie du Sac, Salem and Watertown.

JDLink™

The JDLink system is designed to help operators reach their goals. After all, no two agricultural operations are the same, and the technology you use should accommodate the work you do.  Connect workers and technicians, operators, and managers for easy communications and aid. JDLink can also help you keep track of your operation with automatic logging for machine performance.

Operations Center

The John Deere Operations Center enables your precision ag software to connect directly to help you collaborate with your preferred partners. With these connected software tools, including the major farm management systems used by agronomists, Operations Center ensures you can choose to transfer your data to who you want, when you want. See what’s happening right now and track performance over time, allowing you to direct operations and adjust as conditions change.

Connect Mobile

John Deere Connect Mobile utilizes an Apple® iPad® in the cab that provides operators with better understanding of their machine’s performance. Connect Mobile also documents and displays the row-by-row performance of planters, helping operators monitor and more easily detect problems that can occur while planting.

A common user interface makes it easy to use between different pieces of John Deere equipment, and once the job is done, the iPad can be utilized to perform basic crop scouting activities in the field. Additional functions include Field Review to allow growers a view mapping of planting and spraying, and everything here integrates easily with other John Deere technology.

Harvest Mobile

Harvest Mobile allows operators to monitor performance from their cabs with a display of robust map layers. Measure ground speed, moisture levels, dry and wet yields, and more. Like other John Deere precision ag management tools, Harvest Mobile works easily with the rest of the tools on this list.

Improve harvester performance with Interactive Combine Adjustment (ICA), which assists operators to improve daily and seasonal productivity. And the Field Review function can help growers to gain insight from fields after harvest.

Harvest Lab™ 3000

The John Deere HarvestLab 3000 offers real-time sensing and automation during harvest. You’ll get on-the-go measuring of moisture, dry matter, protein, starch, fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and sugar. Use this information for better fertilization planning and to document nutrient values.

Achieve higher quality forage with automatic cut length adjustments. We’re not talking about random samples; the HarvestLab 3000 has a turntable that ensures a more frequent and accurate evaluation of ensiled material before rations are mixed.

Whether you need detailed maps of your fields to be shared across devices, or the on-the-go analysis of a harvest lab, John Deere has the precision agriculture data management software and systems modern growers need to make the best out of their operations. Call or stop by Mid-State Equipment for all your John Deere needs. We serve Columbus, Jackson, Janesville, Prairie du Sac, Salem, and Watertown, Wisconsin.
