Field maps: field mapping, soil maps, satellite imagery, rainfall and heat history. Inputs and equipment records in Lite tier; work orders (team assignment) in Essentials. Weather: per-field rainfall notifications and 24-hour forecast. Equipment: John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView via a paid 'Machine Data Connections' add-on.
