Camso just announced a new certified remanufactured tracks and wheels program that will be available as of March 16, 2018.

HomePod with an Echo
Just for fun I set my new HomePod next to my Echo and asked them a couple of the same questions. Well, I asked Siri and Alexa to be precise. Nothing fancy here but I have a couple of observations.

ZimmCast From #NFMS18
The 2018 National Farm Machinery Show continues to grow and evolve as evidenced by the changes in the location of exhibitors. This year even featured a new Varied Industries tent in the parking lot.

During the 2018 Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show John Deere showed off its latest top of the line Gator, the XUV835R model. It was the subject of my first video using my new DJI Osmo.

The John Deere API Evangelist at #DevelopWithDeere
Josh Carson is an API Evangelist for John Deere who was an integral part of Develop With Deere. There’s a title you don’t see everyday. I think it pretty much qualifies you as a top level AgNerd! I asked Josh what his job is all about and he said, “My whole job is to make APIs awesome.” By making APIs …
