John Deere updates Operations Centre and MyOperations App
New software updates allow easier data collection and interpretationJohn Deere has introduced several software updates to its Operations Centre and MyOperations app to make it easier for farmers to collect and edit a variety of field information from the convenience of their mobile devices.
The John Deere Operations Center is a free online software from John Deere designed to help farmers manage their equipment and farm data. The MyOperations app connects to the Operations Centre and allows farmers to collect and view information on the go and in the field.
“There remains no question digital technology is one of the keys to greater efficiency, profitability and sustainability in Australian farming. In fact, modelling from the Australian Farm Institute has shown $20.3 billion can be added to the gross value of agricultural production by embracing digital technology,” said John Deere Precision Agriculture Manager, Ben Kelly.
“However, one of the greatest barriers to uptake, outside of connectivity challenges, has been a perception that the technology can be time consuming or complicated to implement.
“Our technology is simple and effective, and we have support networks in place to help farmers get the most out of the machines and the technology they have.”

The key updates to John Deere’s Operations Centre and the MyOperations app for September 2020 are:
- Expansion of data editing capabilities. Farmers can now input and edit crop type (for example, wheat, barley, canola, cotton), crop season (year) and post-calibrate yield and area harvested.
- Manually add tillage, planting, application and yield information from their mobile device via MyOperations app.
- Removal of the sign in requirement to view a machine display from MyOperations.
“By simplifying the way farmers can input and edit key data from their mobile or tablet, we’re helping them to compile high-quality information and insights about each field,” Kelly said.
“This is particularly important given the results which can be gained through the implementation of precision agriculture are directly linked to the quality of the data which is fed into the system.
“This update also demonstrates how John Deere is prioritising making technology simple to use so that the powerful benefits it brings to agriculture are available to as many growers as possible, regardless of where they are in their precision ag journey.
“We encourage farmers and operators to check out and install the new updates for access to the most up-to-date and easy-to-use technology available.”
