This year, the Ag Tech Podcast has covered John Deere precision upgrade kits (PUKs) for planters, sprayers and combines. To round out our year on precision upgrades, Tony sits down with Clint Chaffer, Product Marketing Lead for Precision Upgrades at John Deere, to talk about the origin of PUKs. Starting with planters, the technology footprint of precision upgrades broadened across each season. Chaffer gives us insight into how growers can retrofit older equipment with PUKs, allowing farmers to save money and learn at their own pace. The approach is simple: meet customers where they are on their technology journey and do what makes sense for their operation. Listen to what sparked the ideas, how they evolved from machine to machine and what Chaffer sees for the future of PUKs.
