Agribusiness is the main economic activity in the Central-West region of Brazil. This is where most of the agricultural products we consume come from: rice, sugar cane, cotton, soybeans, corn, etc. To maintain this high production, technology is a fundamental part of the entire farming cycle.

Therefore, during this year's Tecnoshow Comigo, held in Rio Verde (GO), from April 8 to 12, John Deere, represented by dealers Martins&Sobrinho, Maqnelson, Casa do Pica-Pau, Real Máquinas, Iguaçu, Primavera Máquinas and distributor Rota Oeste, shows that the connection between technology, people, machines and intelligence is essential for greater efficiency, profitability and sustainability of farming.

"Producers in the Central-West region are some of those who most seek technology to produce more and better, in a sustainable way. Therefore, John Deere presents during the fair the most modern machinery and technology, to make it possible the agriculture of the future, increasingly based on information and assertive decisions", says Karen Oliveira, regional sales manager at John Deere Brazil.

All machines displayed at the John Deere stand can connect to the Operations Center, an online platform that integrates agronomic and machine operation data, adding intelligence to support agronomic decisions, through JDLink. "With the tools, the farmer can view the generated maps and check the entire plantation history, from soil preparation to harvest, in addition to making it possible to analyze speed maps, applied rates, productivity and equipment location, everything remotely and at any time", explains Karen.

In soil preparation, John Deere is taking Series 5E utility tractors (5060E, 5078E and 5080E) to the fair, which have less than 100 hp and are ideal for small properties that grow grains, fruits and coffee. For medium and large properties, visitors will be able to see the 6100E, 6150J, 7230J and 8400R tractors up close, resistant and versatile lines, developed to support the demands of highly productive properties. Together with the DB40 and 2117 planters, which provide quality and precision planting, the farmer has access to the complete solution for this phase, which is one of the most important to guarantee a good harvest.

The new M4000 sprayer line will also be available at the fair, represented by the M4030 model. The machine features ExactApply, an intelligent tip control system that allows greater precision in the application of pesticides and better coverage quality. Among its benefits are edge control, automatic tip modification, high frequency pulse system, curve compensation and individual tip control.

For harvesting, John Deere uses the S660 and S670 harvester models, which offer intelligence and robustness for this phase of farming. The machine's rotor technology reduces the force required to move the material by up to 20%, which allows for increased harvesting speed and fuel savings. Furthermore, the models also ensure high quality grain cleaning, low breakage and loss rates, as well as greater productivity.

Finally, visitors who stop by the company's stand will also be able to check out the 524K-II loader which, in addition to being used in construction, can be used in the field to move limestone, fertilizer, etc. Also in the John Deere space at the fair will be the 562SL and 563SL front loaders, which minimize operating times and maintain higher productivity than bucket loads, avoiding waste.
