Weather check from tractor cab

Weather information in the tractor cab allows sprayer operators to do a better job, and decrease the risk of chemical drift.

The John Deere mobile weather system allows the operator to check field weather conditions without stopping the tractor.

Up to now, farmers had to stop spraying, climb out of the cab, and use a hand-held device to check prevailing weather conditions — so a solution was bound to come from the US, where new technology has beefed up farming more than it has anywhere else.
