Today’s John Deere equipment does more than get the job done — it also collects useful information that can help you run your operation more efficiently. That’s helpful whether you’re farming cotton outside Lubbock, running pivots near Brownfield, or juggling a mixed operation between Abernathy and Littlefield.

But even with all that capability, one thing remains the same: You are always in control of your data.

 

You Decide Who Sees What

 

Through John Deere Operations Center, you can share field maps, machine health info, and job details with South Plains Implement, your agronomist, or no one at all.  John Deere's approach is simple: You choose what to share, who to share it with, and when to stop sharing.

 

Your Individual Farm Data Is Not Sold

 

A common question we hear is whether John Deere sells customer data - They don’t.

John Deere does NOT sell individual customer data. They may use anonymized, aggregated data to improve products, but nothing tied to your specific operation is shared without your permission. Your cotton yield maps, spraying logs, or machine performance data stay yours.

 

Precision Ag Tools Made Simple

 

A lot of the data your equipment collects feeds into tools designed to save time and reduce inputs across large West Texas acres. Here’s how they help without overcomplicating your operation:
 
AutoTrac™ & Guidance
Keeps your rows straight, cuts overlap, and saves fuel - especially helpful when farming wide, open stretches from Tahoka to Lamesa.
 
Section Control
Automatically turn planter or sprayer sections on and off so you're not double-applying or having to adjust manually.
 
Variable Rate Application
Applies seed or fertilizer based on field needs. High-potential zones get more; low-potential zones get less helping stretch inputs further.
 
Machine Health Monitoring
If you choose to share machine data, South Plains Implement can spot issues early and help keep you running, even if you're working 40 miles from town.
 
These tools work whether you share data or keep everything private. The functionality lives in the machine, and sharing is your choice.
 
 

Easy Access, Easy Management

 

You can view your data, download it, remove sharing partners, or delete your data entirely - anytime you want.

 

Protected Behind the Scenes

 

If you choose to share data, John Deere's dedicated digital security teams work continuously to protect what you share. Their role is to safeguard your data - not control it.

 

Why All of this Matters in West Texas

 

With acres spread out, weather shifting fast, and tight planting and harvest windows, reliable tools make a difference.
