This unlock gives your
GeoSteer or ParaDyme the ability to track the
Russian satellite system, providing additional
satellites in view along tree lines or other places
where signal can be an issue. It will improve the

Optimizer - How Does It Work? |

How does it work?
Optimizer tracks variables we input into
the program. We start with detailed soil
type data which includes moisture
holding, OM, CEC, and pH, then overlay a
seed profile. This profile is more or
less a mathematical description of a
variety�s rate of growth along with
water and nutrient uptake at each growth
stage. Next, we input historical weather
patterns for the area and update it
daily with actual, recorded weather.
This process allows the projection to
get more accurate with each passing day.
We�ll then work with you to customize
your inputs, playing different scenarios
to maximize your yield. Use this to make
more precise adjustments based on your
outlook and risk tolerance.

Managing Stored Grain Going into
Spring |

by Chandra B. Singh, Ph.D., P.Eng. and Ron
Larson, M.Sc.
Grain
Management Practice
If long
term grain storage is your goal, healthy
and clean grain should be stored in bins
with natural air drying and aeration
capability. The bins should be cored and
leveled to remove broken kernels and
fines that have collected at the core
during filling in order to provide a
uniform airflow rate. Peaked grain with
broken kernels and fines may
reduce/restrict the airflow through the
central core causing non-uniformity in
grain moisture and temperature. These
temperature and moisture gradients may
result in moisture migration and
condensation leading to the hotspot
development and grain spoilage.

Tech Tip: Field Maps and Flyer Points |
|
|
by Nate Lincoln, HTS Ag
This spring it will be important to start an
event when you get to the field to decrease
your downtime. If you were to start the
event miles away from the current operation,
there is a possibility that you can input
�flyer points� which will not allow you to
log data. It is always smart to have a field
boundary in place to prevent these points
from being logged. If you get to the field
and you are not able to log data because of
flyer points, you can follow these steps:

Don't Go Through Another Planting
Season without Hydraulic Down Force |
|
|
by Andrew Jungers, AgLeader
The upcoming spring of 2014 will be Ag
Leader�s second season providing
Hydraulic Down Force. Controlled by the
Ag Leader® Integra display, Ag Leader
dealers and end users are quickly seeing
the benefits this system can provide.
Supported planter row units for
Hydraulic Down Force for Spring 2014 are
John Deere MaxEmerge® 2, MaxEmerge®
Plus, MaxEmerge® XP, XP Pro, Kinze® 3000
(non-Interplants), Kinze® 4900 and
WhiteTM
8000 (limited release).
The Hydraulic Down Force system is
centered on the unique hydraulic
actuator. One very important feature of
the actuator is the patented nitrogen
accumulator. The accumulator is the
large shaped piece on the upper portion
of the actuator (See Figure 1). When a
row unit needs to make a rapid upward
adjustment due to terrain changes and
obstacles, the accumulator allows for
this instantaneous movement and absorbs
the pressure increase. Without an
accumulator, the row unit is not allowed
its natural movement and could result in
damage versus a hydraulic system that
did not have this feature.
