Importing Data

If you have integrated your MyJohnDeere account with your FBN® account but still do not see your data in FBN , please check your MyJohnDeere account permissions by following the steps below: Sign into your MyJohnDeere account Open Operations Center Click Setup and a dropdown will appear Click on Team at the very bottom of the list Now click on the Connections just below the address Find the FBN John Deere Integration connection Click on FBN John Deere Integration After the popup box shows, click on Access Make sure under Access it says Can Access Scroll down a bit and make sure Locations is set to level 3 If either of those aren’t the case, click Edit in the bottom right of the popup and edit the necessary parts to ensure everything is set correctly

The easiest way for a farmer to share their field boundaries is to connect their FBN® account with John Deere Operations Center or Case IH’s AFS Connect. John Deere Operations Center and AFS Connect are cloud platforms that store their agronomic information from John Deere and Case IH machines. Farmers Business Network has an API integration with John Deere and CNH that connects this information with FBN.com. Here are instructions to connect your John Deere and CNH account with FBN.com: Sign in to your FBN account . Go to the Integrations page - found under the Analyze tab > My Data > Integrations . Click on the John Deere or CNH button. If you agree to add this integration, click on the Connect with John Deere/Connect with CNH button. If you are not currently signed into MyJohnDeere/AFS Connect, you will be required to sign in. Once signed in, you will see a page from MyJohnDeere/AFS Connect asking if you want to allow FBN access to your account data. Select Allow . If the request was successful and FBN was able to finish the integration, you will see your MyJohnDeere/AFS Connect account listed as an integration. If the request failed or there was an error, you will see the integrations page with an error message. Retry the process again if this happens or contact us for help. After the data in your account has finished syncing with FBN , you will see the Last Sync date. You are now integrated with your MyJohnDeere/AFS Connect account and all files uploaded to MyJohnDeere/AFS Connect will automatically upload to your FBN account for processing, cleaning and analyzing! If you do not have a MyJohnDeere/AFS Connect account, the next easiest way for you to share field boundaries is to use Fieldview. Fieldview is a cloud platform that stores farmers' agronomic information from Fieldview devices. You can easily share information from Fieldview using the instructions below: Log in to Field View on your computer. Click the Data tab on the top of the screen and then Data Manager in the drop down that appears. This screen will automatically populate a list of all your events by field. Check all the field events at once by clicking the small box at the very top of this list that is located right under “20/20 Field Map Data” in FieldView. Then on the right side of that same screen, click the Actions button and then the Share Fields button. Type in the email data@farmersbusinessnetwork.com and hit Send . Change selected year and repeat steps 3 - 6 for each of the years your system has data. If you do not have MyJohnDeere, AFS Connect, or Fieldview, you can share precision yield data from other software providers. Instructions can be found at https://www.fbn.com/community/faq/topic/importing-data If you do not have precision yield data, you should share your field boundaries via FSA Maps. Here are instructions for sharing FSA maps with FBN : Go to the FSA office and request maps for acres enrolled in the sustainability program Email or text images of the maps to data@farmersbusinessnetwork.com Once maps are uploaded, the next step is to schedule a survey with a Farmers Business Network Sustainability Program Lead (SPL). You will receive an email from your assigned SPL and can check their calendar availability to schedule a meeting.

Turn off all types of recording and stop the vehicle. Insert the USB flash drive. The USB must be formatted to FAT or FAT32. A “USB Detected”   message will appear if the display recognizes the USB memory device. If the message does not appear, read and accept the troubleshooting tips and try the other USB port (if equipped) or a different USB memory device.  The display’s internal memory has 256 MB of capacity for field data. Press  Menu  and select  GreenStar. Read  and  Accept  any alert messages. Select the Transfer Data  button to start the transfer to the card. Select or create a profile name where the data will be stored on the USB.  If you back up data to an existing profile, the monitor will overwrite all data and settings in that profile. Select whether you’d like to  Delete All Data and Setup Information  from the internal memory. This clears the internal memory and resets the setup information to factory defaults after the backup is done. A green status bar will appear while the data is transferring. When it’s finished, a “Data Transfer is Complete” message will appear. To prevent data loss, do not remove the USB or crank the engine during the data transfer.

Log in to Field View on your computer . Click the Data  tab on the top of the screen and then Data Manager in the drop down that appears.

We use three checks to ensure that the analyses and data you see in FBN® are accurate:  Farmers First ®  - Our members have a strong interest in ensuring that their own data is reported correctly so they can take advantage of the full range of insights that FBN offers. Farmers can edit yields or report events (like crop damage) in FBN in a matter of minutes in our post calibration and manual data reporting tools, and can verify changes they submit through scale tickets. Data Operations  -  FBN  has a dedicated data operations team that manages data processing and cleaning. In addition to their checks on every raw file that comes into the network, FBN also deploys machine learning algorithms that remove erroneous data points and results that appear abnormal based on the results we’ve observed in similar geographies and growing conditions. Statistical Power  - In statistics, the “law of large numbers” is a concept that describes why a dataset grows in accuracy as it grows in size. With a dataset of tens of millions of acre-events that continues to grow every day, the FBN network is the most statistically valid way for a farmer to understand how a range of factors like planting population, growing conditions, and hybrid selection correlate with yield. We know that some monitors will over-report yield and some will under-report yield. FBN analytics run on large, aggregated datasets where these errors tend to cancel themselves out, leading to less noise in the data. As a matter of principle, the FBN platform is transparent about how many acres of data comprise the yield averages in Seed Finder, and we also provide 95% confidence intervals for the key metrics in Seed Finder and Analyze My Operation. Improving farm data collection practices and quality benefits all farmers. We are proud to be helping growers build a more data driven, connected, and independent future.
