John Deere Operations Center
A web-based (and mobile app) portal that collects, stores, and lets you setup, plan, monitor, and analyze field, crop and equipment data from anywhere, anytime.
The Value to Your Operation
John Deere Operations Center offers data-driven decision tools like remote setup and adjustments to in-cab displays, provides alerts (low fuel, error codes, service etc.) and supplies reports and analyses to optimize operations, boost yield, reduce waste, and control costs.
Your Farm Runs on Data
Yield projections, seed varieties, machine maintenance, labor schedules, soil health, tillage practices etc. are just a few of many details that are managed daily on your farm. By turning those details into data that you can use, you will notice changes in your operation. For instance, being equipped with the right info when you need it to make the next big or small decision, or by spending time and engery on what matters most, whether you're on the farm or away from it, or by becoming more efficient, productive, and profitable. Digital tools help collect, chare, and analyze info, to simplify and automate recordkeeping to help evaluate and improve your farm's performance

Products - Varieties
Keep a record of every variety you plant, by crop and by year. Tracking genetics in Ops Center makes it easier to compare performance across fields and seasons — helping you select the right seed for the right zones.
Products - Chemicals
Log herbicides, insecticides, and additives used across your operation. Tracking products in Ops Center keeps your spray records organized and makes it easier to build tank mixes, plan chemical rotations, and document compliance.
Products - Dry Blends
Build and store custom dry blends for each crop. Using blends in Ops Center allows you to streamline fertilizer plans and ensure consistent application rates when building prescriptions.
Products - Fertilizers
Input-specific fertilizer records let you compare results, fine-tune fertility plans, and support precision application. It also helps with product planning and inventory tracking across farms.
Equipment - Machines
Track your entire fleet — tractors, sprayers, and more — in one place. Know which machines are JDLink-connected, sync data automatically, and manage equipment usage, pairing, and performance remotely.
Field Names and Boundaries
Assign names and crops to every field and clearly define your boundaries. This makes organizing data, building prescriptions, and tracking history easier — with everything tied back to each specific acre.
Plan - Create Accurate Field Work in Advance
Whether you’re tilling, seeding, spraying, or harvesting, Work Planner helps you build clear, detailed plans — including crop variety, guidance lines, prescriptions, and equipment — all before the season starts. It keeps everyone on the same page and saves valuable time in the field.
Crop and Product Selection
Select the right crop and products for each field before the season starts. Laying this out ahead of time prevents confusion and keeps every pass aligned with your agronomic plan.
Prescription Setup
Quickly assign variable rate prescriptions for seed, fertilizer, or herbicide — all before the equipment ever enters the field. The visual shown here matches exactly what the operator will see in the cab, making it easy to select the right plan and get to work without second-guessing. Setting this up ahead of time reduces downtime, prevents mistakes, and keeps planting operations moving efficiently.
Guidance Line Selection
Assign guidance lines or AutoPath tracks in advance to save time at the field edge. Operators just show up, select the plan, and get moving.
Equipment Selection
Pre-select the machines and operators for each task. Everyone knows what equipment is assigned, eliminating mix-ups and wasted time during field startup.
Product Total Visual
See real-time totals for seed and fertilizer needs across your entire farm. Perfect for ordering product ahead of time or validating what’s left in inventory.
Farm Summary Report
Export full reports for your operation by crop and product. These summaries make communication easier across your team and help streamline supply planning.
Field Specific Summary Report
Each field gets its own report with prescriptions, product rates, totals, equipment, and guidance lines — all in one place for fast handoffs and fewer questions.
Monitor - Stay Three Steps Ahead on Your Farm
Whether you’re on the farm or away from it, Op Center web and/or mobile gives you tools and the ability to monitor field progress, work totals and machine location. And notifications can give you 24/7 updates on your entire operation.
Machine Analyzer
Track fuel use, engine hours, and performance trends across your equipment — and see exactly where each machine is located in real time. Machine Analyzer helps identify inefficiencies, reduce downtime, and plan logistics more effectively during busy seasons.
Remote Display Access - Page Layout Setup
We worked with this grower on an older-style display to organize all the information he wanted — field name, product name and type, application rate, and active guidance — onto one screen. With RDA, trusted advisors can view and adjust layout settings just like they’re in the cab.
Remote Display Access - AutoPath Setup
We used Remote Display Access to double-check the grower’s AutoPath lines and confirm every setting — from fan speed and product tanks to seeding rate, meter type, and shoot (top/bottom) delivery. Everything dialed in, without needing to climb in the cab.
Farm Equipment Analysis
Compare performance across your equipment fleet — from fuel efficiency to operating hours. These visuals help you spot underused machines, optimize workload, and plan for future upgrades or maintenance.
Visually See Machine Updates
Get a real-time look at your equipment from anywhere. With RDA, you or your agronomist can check progress, field location, working speed, and field task status — whether you're across the farm or across the state.
Analyze - Have Confidence In Data-Driven Results
Operations Center gives you powerful insight into your farm’s performance—past, present, and future. It collects field and machine data automatically, so you can analyze what worked, identify areas to improve, and plan your next moves with confidence. With just a few clicks, you can wirelessly share data with trusted advisors, generate detailed reports, and use those insights to make every acre count.
Yield Analysis
Operations Center allows you to visualize aver yield maps, as well as exporting the yield data to analyze it over soil management (SWAT MAPS) zones to understand yield trends
Comparing Actual Yields to Yield Goals
With actual vs. goal yield comparisons, we can ground-truth field performance, adjust targets, and understand which crops are over- or under-performing. It’s a critical step in refining your farm’s strategy field by field.
Comparing Yield to Application Layers
We overlay yield maps with fungicide, nitrogen, or seeding rate applications to measure ROI. It’s how we answer: “Did that pass pay?” — and adjust future plans based on what truly made a difference.
Assuming wheat market price @ $5.30/Bu and Fungicide Cost @ $24.50/acre, what is our profit?
- No Fungicide Application: $190.32/Acre Profit
- Fungicide Application: $468.36 - $24.50 = $443.86/Acre Profit
Analyze Yields Across Fields
Op Center makes it easy to break out performance by field. We use this to identify consistent performers, fields that need adjustments, and prioritize agronomic decisions based on real results.
Analyze Yields Across Varieties
We compare variety performance across your farm and zones, helping you choose the right seed for the right acre — and eliminate underperformers with confidence backed by data.
Visualize and Quantify Product Use
By documenting blends, rates, and products in Ops Center, we can visualize where and how inputs were applied. This helps us fine-tune rates, understand input efficiency, and build even better plans moving forward.
