They talk about machine monitoring and predictive maintenance in agriculture. Randy of Century Support explains the role of a Machine Monitoring Specialist. This is typically a technician who monitors connected John Deere equipment using dashboards that highlight alerts. These specialists evaluate issues, communicate with customers, and provide recommendations. These range from optimizations to preventive maintenance. A major focus is the use of expert alerts, which are categorized into three types: DTCs, Performance, and Uptime alerts. These alerts are generated by John Deere based on extensive data analysis. They help guide technicians and operators toward fast and effective solutions. Predictive Warnings The conversation emphasizes how uptime alerts—predictive warnings for machines that appear to be running normally—are particularly powerful but also challenging. Yet, it's difficult for some operators to trust data indicating a future failure when everything seems fine in the moment. However, by identifying patterns across thousands of machines, Deere’s system can often predict breakdowns with surprising accuracy. Century Support plays an important role here. This allows customers to address issues during planned downtime—like early morning hours or rainy days—rather than in the middle of critical work. While these tools don’t eliminate breakdowns, they help convert unexpected failures into manageable, scheduled repairs. This saves time and reduces operational stress during peak farming seasons. JDLink A key component enabling all of this is connectivity, powered by... --- - Published: 2025-09-18 - Modified: 2025-09-18 - URL: https://console.21stcenturyequipment.com/roth-farms-yuma-colorado/ https://youtu. be/S3LkD-G4mVo Welcome to Roth Farms Roth Farms in Yuma, Colorado, is run by third-generation farmer Blake Roth, who shares how his operation has evolved since 2013. Major advances in technology and efficiency have driven this evolution. Working closely with Dalton McMurphy, a precision ag consultant from 21st Century Equipment, Blake has implemented tools like Work Planner and JD Link Boost with Starlink connectivity. These upgrades have significantly reduced downtime and improved field communication. Additionally, they have allowed for real-time updates to planting and harvesting operations. From syncing planters using GPS to managing tasks on the go, the technology has streamlined every aspect of the farm’s workflow. John Deere Machine Sync One of the most impactful tools Blake uses is Machine Sync. It has transformed how they operate during harvest. With this technology, his grain cart—usually driven by his dad—is always in the right place at the right time. This efficiency ensures a smooth and efficient unloading process. It frees up his dad to manage logistics and trucks without constantly needing to monitor the combine. As a result, there are fewer delays and more consistent unloads. There is also increased overall efficiency in the field, which is especially critical during the fast-paced harvest season. The video also features Andy Dible, a dedicated service technician from 21st Century Equipment. His reliable support is a cornerstone of Roth Farms' success. Blake highlights the importance of service—being able to call or text Andy at any hour ensures that operations keep moving during critical... --- - Published: 2025-09-18 - Modified: 2025-09-18 - URL: https://console.21stcenturyequipment.com/big-dig-raises-over-131000/ 2025’s Big Dig of Northern Colorado expanded on its ongoing stellar success, raising over $131,000 in support of pediatric cancer research for the American Cancer Society (ACS) this year.

In this episode, we’re live in Sterling, Colorado with Troy Randall and Preston Jueneman, diving into the impressive performance of the all-new John Deere S7 700 Series Combine. Farmers across the region are already seeing real-world results, including a confirmed 20% boost in productivity thanks to the machine’s increased throughput and smart technology integration. From predictive ground speed automation to enhanced horsepower and harvest settings automation, the S7 Combine is proving to be a game-changer—saving growers time and wear on equipment. Some customers even reported shaving an entire day off harvest operations! Auto Unload One of the most exciting innovations discussed is the new Auto Unload feature. Using a pair of vision-based cameras mounted on the auger, Auto Unload works like a set of eyes to detect grain cart positioning and load distribution. This system automatically controls the grain cart’s speed—ensuring an even, consistent fill from front to back without driver input. It’s a seamless integration of technologies that takes grain handling efficiency to a new level. Auto Unload is currently compatible with new S7 machines and can be retrofitted to 2020 and newer 700 Series Combines. If you've ever wished your grain cart could "just do it"—this is the future arriving today. MachineSync Of course, none of this would be possible without the foundation of MachineSync, which continues to see improvements. With the latest software updates, MachineSync now activates... --- - Published: 2025-08-15 - Modified: 2025-08-15 - URL: https://console.21stcenturyequipment.com/the-backyard-presents-old-mcconnell-farm/ https://youtu. be/MrsgDOxivOY? si=8tV0sM7ZiDcFr9n8 Welcome to Old McConnell Farm! Nestled along the South Platte River in Evans, Old McConnell Farm is a vibrant 30-acre haven brought to life by Sarah and Kyle McConnell. “We’ve got cows, we breed pigs, and we’ve got chickens,” Kyle shares, painting a picture of a bustling farmstead. But it’s not just livestock that thrives here—Sarah has cultivated a flourishing flower operation that adds color and charm to the landscape. “Local flowers are completely unmatched, I think, to anything you can import,” Sarah says passionately. She grows specialty cut flowers like dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers, lisianthus, and early-season ranunculus. With the help of high tunnels, the farm extends its growing season to include early spring and late fall blooms. “Here I am five years later growing on a larger scale each year. And it’s been awesome,” she reflects. Origins of the Farm The journey began eight years ago when the McConnells moved to the property. “The house had been abandoned and the land had not been worked,” Sarah recalls. “I kind of thought to myself, this is a good chance to bring it back to life and share local flowers with the community. ” Beyond the beauty of flowers, the farm is a place of learning and growth for their children. “It’s just a good lifestyle for them to grow up on, learn hard work, respect, deal with animals,” Kyle explains. The McConnells emphasize the importance of raising their own food and instilling values in their kids. “We’re... --- - Published: 2025-08-12 - Modified: 2025-08-15 - URL: https://console.21stcenturyequipment.com/jdlink-boost-in-action-farmcast-ep-58/ https://youtu. be/uGVHQiC-KlI? si=u2AQF4XYQEJW8Dnn JDLink Boost (and more) In this episode of The FarmCast, we're on location in warm Yuma, Colorado, with host Troy Randall and special guests Dalton McMurphy and Hank Jackson from our precision ag team. The team dives into the JDLink Boost system—a versatile, cost-effective connectivity solution that’s making a big impact in the field. It is applicable to tractors, combines, or even service pickups. JDLink Boost helps operators stay connected in remote areas. Furthermore, it streamlines everything from software updates to work plan management. JDLink Boost provides unlimited roaming data for a fraction of the typical cost of Starlink. It's quickly becoming a go-to solution for farmers and technicians alike. We also dig into John Deere’s latest precision technology, including AutoPath and Work Planner. AutoPath is helping growers of all sizes improve accuracy and efficiency. This is especially true on side hills and challenging terrain. It automatically aligns implements and guidance lines across multiple passes and machines. Now compatible with a wider range of controllers, including Green Fit, AutoPath is more accessible than ever. The episode also looks at Work Planner, a powerful tool that reduces setup time and button presses. It makes life easier for operators and maximizes field uptime.

Fagerberg specializes in the cultivation of red, white, and yellow onions across 1,000 to 1,500 acres annually. Fagerberg has not only weathered the changing tides of farming but has also embraced innovation to stay ahead. A Legacy of Excellence In the early 1990s, Fagerberg Farms became the first onion supplier for Walmart, a testament to their quality and reliability. Although Walmart eventually “outgrew” them, Fagerberg remained steadfast in their commitment to growing top-tier onions, supplying major retailers with storage crop onions that last through the winter, exemplifying the consistent excellence attributed to Fagerberg Farms. https://youtu. be/jY-Rgfj3f-c? si=FuL4F8QIXhAp05uW Embracing Digital Agriculture At the heart of Fagerberg’s modern success is their integration of John Deere’s Operations Center (“Ops Center”).   “Using Ops Center for me as a farm manager has made my job tremendously easier,” says Brian King. “It’s always pulled up on my phone. If I’m in my office, I have a second monitor dedicated just for Ops Center, so it’s always on somewhere in my life. ” Such innovations align perfectly with the progressive vision of Fagerberg Farms. The journey began with a massive data cleanup: consolidating nearly 900 fields and thousands of guidance lines. With the help of 21st Century Equipment, especially Precision Ag Consultant Isabel Drobny, Fagerberg streamlined their digital infrastructure, ensuring every tractor display was synchronized and accurate.

Cornerstone has 18 of the tractors on order from 21stCentury, and all 18 are a “recent Fendt competitive conversion,” Palm said. The Fechts were even able to drive one of their tractors directly off the assembly line. “Mike and Anthony were amazed at the scale of the Waterloo factory.

The Keplers, who are dedicated alfalfa farmers, share their story of tradition, hard work, and the joys of raising a family on the farm in the heart of rural America. Growing Roots "I grew up on the farm,” Amanda Kepler begins, her pride of coming from the rural lifestyle beaming through her words. “In fact, my dad put me in a swather when I was age, and I wasn't heavy enough to even hold the seat down. He had to strap me in with bungee cords so I could help him. " From a young age, Nick Kepler was also immersed in the rhythms of farm life. By high school, he was running a couple of pivots of alfalfa. After a stint in Omaha, where he and Amanda lived for five years, the call of the land brought them back.   "When we started having kids, we decided to come back here,” Amanda recalls. “We had an opportunity to farm close to home, and we just took it,” Nick says. City vs. Country The decision to return to rural life was driven by a desire to give their children a different upbringing.   "We didn't want our kids to go into a big city school,” Amanda says. “Being able to have the kids grow up doing this kind of thing, it's teaching them more than they actually think it is," Nick reflects.

Growing up on a ranch in a small town, Ellie was expected to do a little bit of everything, including running machinery and keeping it maintained. Learning those skills at a young age set her down the career path she finds herself on today. “It was sink or swim in those situations, and you must figure out how to keep running,” Kippes said. “I loved the problem solving, and as it turns out, I wasn’t half bad at it. I learned that if you can troubleshoot accurately and quickly, you can fix just about anything. ” Friendly competition with her brothers pushed her to keep learning and growing. “It was simple, I wanted to be the best to show my brothers up,” Kippes said. “We enjoyed the banter, but we were always trying to outdo each other.

Hayden shares that farmers who've integrated the system into their operations have seen significant improvements. These improvements include chemical savings, with reports of 40-60% reductions in chemical usage. Many growers who have used the technology for a full season express that they wouldn’t go back to traditional methods. According to them, the savings and efficiency gains are too valuable to ignore. Farmers are also adapting their spraying strategies to leverage See & Spray's precision. The report moving away from broad applications and focusing on targeted spraying to eliminate resistant weeds.

Led by Christopher Schnorr, this family-owned and operated farm has navigated challenges with a spirit of determination. Christopher Schnorr's journey into the helm of Schnorr Farms began at the age of 20, following the loss of his father to cancer. "It was a rough, rough time," he recalls, reflecting on the daunting task of assuming leadership. "I had no clue what I was doing. I don't think I've figured it out to this day, but we show up every morning and go to work and give it our all. " From stories of saving crops during droughts with babies strapped to their backs, to watching the three Schnorr children grow up on the farm, it is safe to say Schnorr Farms has been a family affair since day one. Throughout its evolution, Schnorr Farms has integrated tradition with cutting-edge technology. Embracing John Deere's innovations marked a pivotal moment for the farm, utilizing GPS systems and Precision Planting techniques that helped take their operation to new levels.

Mike's journey into the world of agriculture and equipment began with humble origins. After serving in the US Army from 1979 to 1984, he transitioned into civilian life, where his natural affinity for agriculture led him to Massey Ferguson in Swedesburg, Iowa, in February 1985. There, he set up and drove semis and handled repairs as a technician. In 1986, Mike took a pivotal step forward, joining a John Deere dealership for the first time in Winfield, IA. From his start in the parts department to later roles in customer service, sales, and service management, Mike's journey was marked by continuous growth and leadership. In 1994 Mike moved his family to Colorado to work at Bi-State Machinery. In 2000, Mike's career reached a significant milestone when he became the General Manager of Bi-State Machinery. His leadership and vision were further showcased as Bi-State merged with Romer Mercantile in 2006 to become Colorado Equipment, where he managed branches in Greeley and Fort Collins. He eventually was promoted to General Manager of the AG division at Colorado Equipment/4Rivers Equipment, where he remained until the merger with 21st Century Equipment last year. “I have truly enjoyed all the people I’ve worked with in my career,” Mike said. “I have always tried to live by the motto, ‘To have fun and get it done. ’ There’s a lot of people still working for this company that I... --- - Published: 2024-03-14 - Modified: 2024-03-28 - URL: https://console.21stcenturyequipment.com/pushing-john-deere-technology-to-the-max-farmcast-ep-21/ https://youtu. be/p80DH-5j8zw Welcome to the FarmCast!

In this blog, we’ll touch on what this product has been designed to do and share results straight from one of our very own 21st Century Equipment customers. What is Hopper Throttle Corn™?   Hopper Throttle Corn™ is a planter box treatment specifically developed to increase atmospheric nitrogen availability. Its base is formed of an 80/20 talc and graphite combination. This provides lubricity and eliminates static electricity on planter parts. Hopper Throttle Corn™ promotes root growth without the use of an extender. Treated seed is good for 90 days and the product itself has a shelf life of 2 years. It’s also equipped with freeze-thaw technology. Ultimately, this revolutionary product has been designed to enhance overall crop performance, helping your operation be more profitable.   Proven Results  In addition to the incredible results shared with our team by the folks at Hopper Throttle Corn™, we wanted to go the extra mile and conduct studies on this product for ourselves. One such study was completed with a 21st Century Equipment customer located in Holbrook, Nebraska in October of 2022.   This customer incorporated Hopper Throttle Corn™ into their operation. The result was that they saw an astounding 7 bushel per acre yield increase on seed treated with Hopper Throttle Corn™ vs. without.

In addition to ranch and farming tasks, like growing their own cattle feed, the operation includes a grow yard and a small investment in a packing house for cattle harvest. That means this crew has a lot of work to get done each day. They use various John Deere equipment to do just that.

The mobile technology learning lab empowers 7th and 8th grade students in various areas of STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) learning and exposes youth to the litany of H3 job opportunities available in Nebraska, specifically in agriculture. H3 means "high wage, high skill and high demand. " "The primary purpose of this project is to inspire interest in STEM opportunities by exposing students to these things earlier in their educational journey," said Owen Palm, 21st Century Equipment President & CEO. "We also want kids to see they can have a rewarding, great-paying career right here in the panhandle. " The lab itself is housed in a 40-foot enclosed gooseneck trailer, equipped with heating and air conditioning, allowing it to be used as an outdoor classroom. Within the trailer are workstations that can be used in place or detached and moved into the classrooms as needed. These workstations include hands-on computer simulators capable of demonstrating various precision ag technologies. Other elements include a FarmBot™, a robotic machine students can program to physically plant seed in various spacings, a 3D printer and two simulators that allow users to virtually operate a tractor working in the field.

In doing so, your machine will have an extended life span, and you will be prepared in the hopes of an early spring! With 21st Century Equipment, we guarantee your equipment will be well taken care of with premium service and a knowledgeable team. Your farm equipment is a major investment, and we know that just because your equipment is put away for some time, your plans for the next season are not. When it comes to winter maintenance, we believe the time spent in the off-season is valuable. This winter, be sure not to neglect routine maintenance checks to make sure problems are caught early. Things like replacing lighting components, spark plugs, oil filters and the like are more readily done in the winter months when you have some (although not a lot of) down time. While many ranchers are still running things like utility tractors or other John Deere machinery to care for cattle in the winter time, there are some pieces of equipment that may become idle in the off-season on some farms. Running your equipment regularly, even if only for a few minutes, during the winter can help avoid problems down the road. Allowing a machine’s parts to rise above 40 degrees fahrenheit before use is a wise practice. Additional handy winter maintenance tips for your John Deere and other equipment include: Store your equipment in a covered environment, like a... --- - Published: 2024-03-12 - Modified: 2024-10-08 - URL: https://console.21stcenturyequipment.com/21st-century-equipment-sugar-beet-harvest-2/ Recently, we spent some time with David Haun. A long-time farmer, David is also a member of the Western Sugar Cooperative. This cooperative is composed of more than 850 growers and shareholders. The group comes together with one goal in mind: to produce a solid sugar beet crop from year to year. Naturally, some seasons are better than others. The support of a community of people makes it easier to weather the lows and more enjoyable to celebrate the highs. As for his operation specifically, David and his team cultivated roughly 1,000 acres of sugar beets during the 2022 growing season. “You plant 50,000 seeds per acre for a population of about 35-40,000 plants,” said Haun. “If at the end of the day you can harvest 10,000 pounds of sugar per acre, that would be considered a successful crop. ” David’s farm is unique in that it was one of the first irrigated farms in Western Nebraska. The land itself runs along Highway 26 and was once part of the Oregon Trail. In the 1800s, a small group of settlers came to the farm with the goal of irrigating the area. The head gate of the farm itself dates back to 1892. Irrigation was, of course, no small achievement during this period of history. The original canal was hand-dug. Things have come a long way since then. David now partners with 21st Century Equipment for the technology he needs to efficiently get his crop out of the ground.

John Deere offers the John Deere Operations Center to not only Deere customers, but to any farmer to manage their data free of charge. The web or mobile version of the Operations Center has four main areas to help keep data clean, organized and usable anytime, anywhere. Setup The first area of the Operations Center you should get organized is the setup area. This includes your client, farm and field lists. This area should only reflect one name for each field you farm.
