Summary
John Deere is testing an AI chatbot called 'JD' that helps farmers make better decisions by analyzing their own field, machine, and operational data to answer questions about equipment settings, fuel usage, and harvest timing. The company has published a 10-point Farmer Data Commitment promising not to sell farmer data and giving farmers control over their information, apparently in response to previous disputes with farmers and regulators over repair rights.
