Corteva stated in 2022: 'Moving forward our ambition is not to sell our customers software.' | Rebranded: Trimble Ag Software / Farmer Core / Farmer Fit / Farmer Pro became 'PTx Trimble Ag Software' and then 'FarmENGAGE' (App Store: 'Formerly known as PTx Trimble Ag Software'; AGCO: launched 2025, debuted at Farm Progress Show Aug 2025). ptxtrimble.com now redirects to ptxag.com, where PTx Trimble and Precision Planting are presented as two brands of PTx (AGCO). Active.

Fuse no longer appears on AGCO's precision-ag strategy page. AGCO-specific sources appended. |
