John Deere Precision Upgrades offers the Precision Essentials Program that is targeted at upgrading your whole-farm precision ag technology operating system.

The Precision Essentials Program offers a whole new way of moving customers forward in technology adoption on their farm. This is a new business model for hardware and software, lowering the upfront cost so customers can adopt the latest technology quickly while giving them the flexibility to only pay for what their farm needs.

What is included in the Precision Essentials Program?

Customers have an option on how they want to purchase their precision ag components and software from John Deere, through the Precision Essentials Program or the traditional business model. John Deere is dedicated to helping customers move forward in their precision ag journey and experience the benefits of hardware and software updates found in the G5 and G5^Plus Display, StarFire™ Universal Receivers, and M and R Modems.
