The OneSoil PRO platform is integrated with the John Deere Operations Center to quickly exchange data, such as field boundaries, AB lines, and VRA maps.

Setting up integration will take just a few minutes but save you a lot of time down the line. For example, you won't need to download VRA maps to a flash drive, run to your machinery, and upload the files to the onboard computer.

How to set up integration

You can integrate with the John Deere Operations Center in your profile settings:

  1. In your account settings, select the 'John Deere integration' option and click the 'Connect' button.

  2. In the window that opens, enter your John Deere OC username and password.

  3. Grant the OneSoil app access to data. A message will appear confirming that integration was successful.

What integration with the John Deere Operations Center is for

🗺 Importing field boundaries from the John Deere Operations Center

To import an organization's fields from the John Deere Operations Center to OneSoil PRO:

  1. In the integration settings section, choose 'Settings'.

  2. Select the organization whose fields you want to import.

  3. Select the fields you want to import.

  4. If you've previously added fields to OneSoil PRO using other methods, select that you want to compare and merge fields with matching boundaries. This will help avoid duplicates.

  5. Voilà! Fields from your John Deere Operations Center account have been added to OneSoil PRO. Fields from the John Deere Operations Center will be marked with a special icon in the list of fields.

Note ❗️

  • Fields that you import from the John Deere Operations Center cannot be edited or deleted in OneSoil PRO. All changes must be done in the John Deere Operations Center.

  • If a field is deleted in the John Deere Operations Center, you can select whether to keep it or delete it in OneSoil PRO. You can do this on the Field Report page.

  • If a field has been already analyzed in OneSoil PRO and if you change its boundaries in the John Deere Operations Center, you must reanalyze the field on the ‘Field report’ page by clicking 'Update and analyze'.

💡 When importing field boundaries, you'll also import the data used to build VRA maps and Work Plans: crops, hybrids, seeds, fertilizers, and chemicals.

🚜 Importing AB lines from the John Deere Operations Center

As soon as you import fields from the John Deere Operations Center, OneSoil PRO will transfer over the AB lines, as well. You'll need these when building control strips. To do so, select the name of the AB lines you want to use right now in the Equipment Direction window. We'll discuss building control strips in more detail later.

🌿 Exporting VRA maps from OneSoil PRO

This feature lets you seamlessly transfer VRA maps to John Deere machinery, to the John Deere Operations Center, or to the Work Planner tool in JD Operation Center.

To export a VRA map to the John Deere Operations Center:

  1. After the VRA map is built, click 'Export' → 'Send', select the organization, then select the 'File' option, and the VRA map will appear in the John Deere Operations Center.

  2. In the John Deere Operations Center, go to the 'Files' tab and find the VRA maps from OneSoil PRO. You can sort by the file's creation date or by its name (these attributes are in the file name). Select the file, click 'Transfer', and select the equipment you need.

  3. There you go! The VRA map is now on the machinery's onboard computer, and you can start working in the field.

This method works for all fields in your account. It doesn't matter which method you used to add them.

If you use the John Deere Operation Center's Work Planner, you can schedule the operation in OneSoil PRO:

  1. After the VRA map is created, click 'Export' → 'Send', select the organization, then select the 'Work Planner' option.

  2. After the operation is sent, you can view it in the 'Work Planner' tab in the John Deere Operations Center.

This method only works for fields that you've imported from the John Deere Operations Center.

🌻 Importing yield maps and as-applied maps from the John Deere Operations Center

Yield maps are essential for analyzing VRA trial results by understanding how different application rates affected yield in each zone. Operations files can be compared with other data layers, such as NDVI, for example, to assess how spraying affected NDVI.

  1. In the integration settings section, choose 'Settings'.

  2. Make sure that the 'Machinery data sync' toggle is activated.

  3. Select the organization and fields for which you want to import yield data or operations.

  4. Click the 'Confirm' button, and the app will start synchronizing data. It may take some time to upload data. After that, the operations will appear in the 'Data' tab.
