Award-winning technology

Winning products are recognized for their role in bringing advanced technology to the marketplace. These engineering developments help farmers, and food processors, increase efficiency, enhance quality, improve safety, and increase profitability. John Deere receives 2022 AE50 Awards for the company's innovation, including: See & Spray™ Select and MY22 9 Series Tractors.

"AE50 Awards reaffirm the innovative spirit of John Deere employees around the world. Innovation is in our DNA and one of our most important core values. No other company in agriculture invests more time, money and energy into research and development than John Deere," says Joel Dawson, John Deere Manager, Production and Precision Agriculture.

"Our engineers take great pride in creating amazing new technology and products that benefit our customers and help them meet the world's growing need for food, fuel, shelter and infrastructure in the most productive and sustainable ways possible," comments Joel.

Industry-leading innovations

An award-winning innovation introduced by John Deere is See & Spray Select, a factory-installed and machine-integrated solution that enables farmers to spot spray of weeds on fallow ground. See & Spray Select uses advanced camera and control technology to differentiate color on fallow ground, detects weeds, and spot sprays them.

"This targeted spray application has similar hit rates to broadcast spraying while applying 77% less herbicide on average, providing a tremendous savings on inputs for farmers," explains Joel.

Also receiving a 2022 AE50 Award is MY22 John Deere 9 Series Tractors. The tractors help large-acre grain produces start earlier and run later to complete their spring seeding and planting work during tight, optimal seeding and planting windows. Powered by an all-new John Deere PowerTech™ 13.6L engine, 9 Series Tractors can pull wider implements faster and more precisely than ever before. When paired with integrated John Deere precision ag technology, farmers can drive important management changes to improve crop yields, lower input costs and farm more acres in less time.
