Place Seed and Fertilizer With Confidence, Not Hope

Air drilling is about repeatability. John Deere air drills are built for consistent placement and the kind of even start you can see at emergence—helping protect yield potential when timing is tight and you need every pass to count the first time.

Know It’s Flowing - So You Can Keep Rolling

You shouldn’t have to stop to wonder if product is making it to the ground. RelativeFlow™ blockage monitoring helps you spot problems from the cab and address them early—so you avoid thin streaks, protect the stand, and keep momentum when the window is short.
