PTx Trimble FarmENGAGE: Three FarmENGAGE tiers on PTx's US feature-comparison page: Starter (manage vehicles/implements/PTx Trimble devices, connect AGCO machines), Data (farm/field setup, up to 5 logins, USB import, equipment location, task reports/coverage maps, prescriptions to Precision-IQ displays), Operations (cloud sync with Precision-IQ, work orders, operator access controls, weather, crop rotation planning, material usage tracking, profitability and scouting reports, harvest tracking with yield and price, management zones, prescription creation). Inputs 'partial' = material usage tracking/prescriptions, not purchasing. Mixed fleet: 'regardless of make or model year'; compatibility agreements named with John Deere Operations Center, Case IH FieldOps, New Holland, Raven Slingshot; connects to Fendt/MF/Valtra displays and PTx Trimble GFX displays. Precision-IQ is the in-cab display application. FarmENGAGE iOS app (free download) formerly 'Trimble Ag Mobile'.
Sentera FieldAgent: FieldAgent processes drone, satellite and ground imagery for stand count, canopy cover, tassel count, NDVI/NDRE/VARI crop health, elevation, zone analytics and weed pressure; includes drone flight planning and ground scouting. Integrations named: John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView ('keeping data in sync'); Enterprise tier adds ERP/GIS/R&D API integrations. SMARTSCRIPT Weeds generates drone-based weed prescriptions (sold to farmers and to retail/consultants). Analytics lean toward hybrid seed production and research plots as well as grower scouting.
