Summary

With increased efficiencies and capacities, it is becoming increasingly important for producers and ginners alike to have improved module management tools. One of the newest module management tools is John Deere’s Harvest Identification for round modules. This technology is simplifying the transfer of module information from the producer to the gin. With Harvest Identification for round modules, all critical module information such as module serial number, client, farm, field, variety, latitude, and longitude of where the module was wrapped is captured and stored on the Green Star monitor and then automatically transferred to your gin’s module management software. The RFID tags that are embedded in the round module wrap are then utilized for tracking and identifying round modules. This presentation is designed to show growers and ginners how to work together to ensure growers have the correct information in their Green Star monitors so that data will easily and properly transfer between those monitors and the gin software.​
