Deere and company is making another move in the precision planting, big data area.
It plans to buy the Precision Planting LLC equipment business from The Climate Corporation - a Monsanto subsidiary.
The deal also includes connectivity between certain John Deere farm equipment and The Climate Corporation's Climate FieldView platform.
That allows farmers to collect and directly share data to the Climate cloud.
Deere says the deal allows the company to extend the range of retrofit options available from Precision Planting to many more products and into new geographies.
