How do I export a variable rate seeding (VRS) prescription?

Overview

After creating a VRS prescription in Granular Insights, you will need to export it to your monitor. This can be done wirelessly to your John Deere Operations Center or manually by downloading the script and importing it to your monitor.

In Granular Insights, you can export scripts for a single field or for multiple fields at once. You can also select if you want to only export the primary plan for a field or if you want to export backup plans as well.  Variable rate scripts can be exported in imperial (seeds/acre) or metric (seeds/hectare) units of measure. Variable rate prescriptions can only be exported using the web application.

Requirements

  • Active internet connection
  • A VRS prescription created for the field

  1. On the Export screen, select the machine type you're exporting the script to, as well as the units of measure you want the script export to be generated in. Choose if you want to export the script for only the preferred product for this field (by clicking the Only export primary varieties toggle) or if you want to include some (or all) of your backup plans. Additionally, you can generate your summary report with all varieties, primary varieties only or choose to not generate a report at all.
