Summary

In this episode of the Agriculture Technology Podcast, host Tony Kramer sits down with Joel Kaczynski, a Technology Solutions Manager at RDO Equipment Co., to dive into John Deere's new license model for technology. With over 20 years of experience at RDO, Joel explains John Deere’s transition from traditional activations and subscriptions to the new license model, which includes permanent, time-based and use-based licenses. This new model aims to provide more flexibility and better align costs with actual usage, making it easier for farmers to adopt advanced technologies.
