Ceres AI has announced a renewed and enhanced integration with the John Deere Operations Center.

While this integration has existed for years, recent upgrades bring a more seamless and actionable experience for growers, the company said in a release.

WHY IT MATTERS: Emerging farming equipment is leaning more and more into smart technology.

John Deere says it has expanded the See and Spray system’s functionality to other crops. For the 2027 model year machines, it will be compatible with wheat, barley and canola.

The enhanced integration will enable Ceres insights to be viewed directly in the Operations Center, allowing users to overlay imagery with machine, planting, and application data for a complete picture of field performance. It also simplifies setup by syncing field boundaries between platforms.

“This is more than a technical upgrade; it’s a meaningful step forward in delivering intelligence where it matters most,” said Anubhav Sharma, director of marketing at Ceres.

“By embedding our insights within tools growers already rely on, we’re making it easier to onboard faster, take action, and operate more confidently from day one. This improved integration also delivers value for insurers by enabling faster access to field boundaries, planted crops, planting dates, and historical yield data, critical inputs for underwriting and risk assessment.”

The new integration will provide in-platform access to Ceres insights, giving growers high-resolution imagery data layers from Ceres directly in the John Deere Operations Center, minimizing platform switching and streamlining workflows.

The company said the platform provides insights with machine, application, and planting data to better understand crop health, input efficiency, and yield risk and take timely action based on that intelligence.

Additionally, field boundaries and data from John Deere now flow directly into Ceres, reducing manual entry and improving accuracy.

These enhancements address the issue of fragmented data ecosystem, something Ceres said has been a long-standing challenge in agriculture. By connecting systems, Ceres said it’s helping growers move from managing data to acting on it.
