What is included in the Precision Essentials Program?

John Deere is dedicated to helping customers move forward in their precision ag journey and experience the benefits of hardware and software updates found in the G5 and G5Plus Display, StarFire™ Universal Receivers, and M and R Modems.

For customers who previously acquired the Precision Essentials kit, there is no 2-year payment requirement; you may purchase the AutoTrac License on an annual basis immediately.
