How can I link my Atfarm account to John Deere Operations Center™ and import farms and fields?

If you have a John Deere Operations Center™ account, you can connect it to your Atfarm account to save time and optimise your nitrogen applications.

Once you've connected both apps, you can:

• Automatically import all fields from John Deere Operations Center™, just add the crop type
• Export biomass maps (optimised map and N-uptake map) to John Deere Operations Center™
• Create multiple Variable N-Rate Application maps at once based on real growth conditions in Atfarm
• Export multiple created Variable N-Rate Application maps at once as Work Plans™ to the Work Planner™ in John Deere Operations Center™

Proceed as follows to connect to John Deere Operations Center™:

1. Log in to Atfarm from your desktop browser.
   • The connection to John Deere can only be made from the Atfarm web app in your desktop browser, not from the Atfarm mobile app on your mobile device.
   • If you don't have an Atfarm account yet, please register a free Atfarm account.
2. Click Account in the left navigation bar.
3. Click Connect to go to John Deere Operations Center™.
   • Please ensure that the John Deere Operations Center™ account is only linked to a single Atfarm account and not to multiple Atfarm accounts. Otherwise importing farms and fields may fail.
4. Log in to your John Deere Operations Center™ account with your username and password.
5. Tick the corresponding option to select which information you want to share with Atfarm and allow access.
6. Click Open Operations Center to go to John Deere Operations Center™ and select which organisations and partners you want Atfarm to access by turning access on and off.
7. Tick the box next to a farm from the list of your John Deere farms to select all its fields for import. To import specific fields only, click the arrow next to a farm to view all fields, then tick the box next to a field to select it for import.
   • For each farm you can see how many fields the farm has in total, which organisation the farm belongs to, and how many fields have already been imported to Atfarm.
   • If you're missing an organisation from the list, you can select additional organisations in the John Deere Operations Center™ for Atfarm to import from.
8. Click Import fields to start the import.
9. Once all the fields have been imported, the imported fields counter next to the farm updates. Click the arrow next to a farm to see all the fields and their import status.
   • If the import fails, please try the following:
     1. Check that the John Deere fields you want to import are all within Atfarm's field size limits and have valid outer and inner boundaries that don't overlap or intersect.
     2. Disconnect and reconnect the Atfarm account to the John Deere Operations Center™ account. Read here how to cancel the connection.
     3. Check that this Atfarm account is the only one connected to the John Deere Operations Center™ account. If the fields have already been imported to another Atfarm account from the same John Deere Operations Center™ account, the import will fail. If more than one Atfarm account is connected to the John Deere Operations Center™ account, disconnect the other Atfarm accounts so that only one account is connected. Read here how to cancel the connection.
     4. Re-select the fields that failed and try the import again.
     5. If the import still fails, please contact our support team.
10. Click Continue to go to the overview of your Atfarm farms.
11. Your imported John Deere farms will now be listed in the farm overview of your Atfarm account and marked with a special label.
12. Now assign the crop class and crop type for each imported field to ensure that the correct crop class and type are selected, so Yara's crop-specific calibrations can be applied. Read here how to proceed.

Please note:

The details of imported John Deere farms and fields, such as name, field boundaries, crop class and crop type, can't be changed in Atfarm. To update the details of your John Deere farms and fields, please do this in the John Deere Operations Center™ and then synchronise Atfarm with the John Deere Operations Center™.
