How In-Cab Training Helps New Farm Employees Master Precision Ag Tools

From: Successful Farming

To ensure you’re collecting accurate, usable data, you not only need to use precision ag technology properly but also need to make sure your employees do. Farmers Zoe Kent and Travis Senter have found that real-world, in-cab experience builds confidence faster than any manual or online course to bring new hires up to speed.

Hands-on Approach

The eighth-generation Kent family farm in central Ohio’s Crawford County relies on John Deere’s Operations Center for guidance and monitoring. With remote access, Kent and the team can troubleshoot equipment issues or data discrepancies in real time without needing to be in the field.

When a new hire joins the team, they don’t start behind a desk; they start in the cab. Kent walks them through Operations Center, then hands them the tablet so they can see how each field pass translates into data.

With Operation Center’s constant improvements, Kent said she especially appreciates that her 71-year-old father has fully embraced the technology, using it daily to stay involved in the family’s farm operations. Kent said she has watched her father adapt to new tools and technology with ease.

For Kent, hands-on learning is the only way to build confidence with precision ag tools. She enjoys attending offseason training seminars to build knowledge and confidence she can bring back to the operation and implement with employees. This helps the Kent family reduce dealer dependence.

“Don’t be afraid to experiment,” Kent said. “Test equipment before the season, familiarize yourself with settings, and keep exploring new capabilities.”

She said future farmworkers will need adaptability and curiosity more than deep technical repair skills, since much of today’s equipment is proprietary and dealer dependent.

Explanation With Experience

Travis Senter is no stranger to precision ag on his third-generation operation in Wilson, Arkansas. With over 30 tractors, 3 combines, 5 sprayers, and 3 cotton pickers, technology plays an integral role in the operations and management decisions of the northeast Arkansas farm.

Operations Center is the farm’s main data platform. Senter said his philosophy is to let the equipment do its job and manage data remotely rather than complicating the operator’s environment.

Even with technology advancing fast, new hires aren’t left behind at Senter’s farm. He explains you can’t just tell someone how to run precision ag tools; you must show them. His training approach blends explanation with experience, giving new employees the confidence to operate systems that keep his farm running efficiently.

“Every field pass must be properly recorded, because the data feeds into software used for management efficiency tracking and decision-making,” Senter said. “Elevation data is particularly valuable for irrigation and drainage management, especially in northeast Arkansas, where water management is key.”

Senter stressed that good data today can provide future value such as helping drainage systems or improving irrigation practices.

Building Confidence Through Training

As technology evolves, John Deere and Ag Leader recognize that equipping dealers and technicians with the right skills is essential to helping farmers succeed. Each manufacturer takes a comprehensive approach to training, blending classroom education, hands-on experience, and ongoing professional development.

At John Deere, training begins through John Deere University and its network of training centers, combining classroom, virtual, and hands-on instruction. The John Deere Tech program, offered with select colleges and universities across North America, provides a pathway for technicians that blends coursework, hands-on learning, and paid dealership experience.

Ag Leader also focuses on building confidence and capabilities. Training incorporates real-world scenarios by having dealers create customer profiles. Dealers learn how to apply products to those situations, so they can understand the challenges farmers face.

驾驶舱内培训如何帮助农场新员工掌握精准农业工具

How In-Cab Training Helps New Farm Employees Master Precision Ag Tools

来源：Successful Farming

想要确保采集到准确、可用的数据，你不仅要自己正确使用精准农业技术，还要确保员工也能规范操作。农场主佐伊・肯特和特拉维斯・森特发现，实地驾驶舱实操体验，比任何手册或线上课程都能更快建立信心，让新员工快速上手。

To ensure you’re collecting accurate, usable data, you not only need to use precision ag technology properly but also need to make sure your employees do. Farmers Zoe Kent and Travis Senter have found that real-world, in-cab experience builds confidence faster than any manual or online course to bring new hires up to speed.

实操式培训

Hands-on Approach

位于俄亥俄州中部克劳福德县的肯特家族农场已是第八代传承，他们依靠约翰迪尔运营中心进行指导与监控。通过远程访问，肯特和团队无需亲临田间，就能实时排查设备故障或数据异常。

The eighth-generation Kent family farm in central Ohio’s Crawford County relies on John Deere’s Operations Center for guidance and monitoring. With remote access, Kent and the team can troubleshoot equipment issues or data discrepancies in real time without needing to be in the field.

新员工入职后，不是从办公桌前开始，而是直接进入驾驶舱。肯特会带他们熟悉运营中心，然后把平板电脑交给他们，亲眼看到每一次田间作业如何转化为数据。

When a new hire joins the team, they don’t start behind a desk; they start in the cab. Kent walks them through Operations Center, then hands them the tablet so they can see how each field pass translates into data.

随着运营中心不断升级，肯特表示，她特别欣慰的是，71 岁的父亲已完全接受并熟练使用这套技术，每天都用它参与家族农场的运营。她亲眼看着父亲轻松适应新工具与新技术。

With Operation Center’s constant improvements, Kent said she especially appreciates that her 71-year-old father has fully embraced the technology, using it daily to stay involved in the family’s farm operations. Kent said she has watched her father adapt to new tools and technology with ease.

对肯特而言，实操学习是建立精准农业工具使用信心的唯一途径。她喜欢参加农闲期的培训研讨会，把学到的知识与信心带回农场，教给员工。这也让肯特家族减少了对经销商的依赖。

For Kent, hands-on learning is the only way to build confidence with precision ag tools. She enjoys attending offseason training seminars to build knowledge and confidence she can bring back to the operation and implement with employees. This helps the Kent family reduce dealer dependence.

“不要害怕尝试，”肯特说，“在种植季前测试设备，熟悉各项设置，不断探索新功能。”

“Don’t be afraid to experiment,” Kent said. “Test equipment before the season, familiarize yourself with settings, and keep exploring new capabilities.”

她表示，未来的农场员工更需要适应能力与求知欲，而非高深的维修技术，因为如今的设备大多为专有系统，仍需依赖经销商支持。

She said future farmworkers will need adaptability and curiosity more than deep technical repair skills, since much of today’s equipment is proprietary and dealer dependent.

讲解结合实操

Explanation With Experience

位于阿肯色州威尔逊市的森特家族已是第三代农场经营者，对精准农业十分熟悉。农场拥有 30 多台拖拉机、3 台联合收割机、5 台喷雾机和 3 台采棉机，技术在农场运营与管理决策中扮演着不可或缺的角色。

Travis Senter is no stranger to precision ag on his third-generation operation in Wilson, Arkansas. With over 30 tractors, 3 combines, 5 sprayers, and 3 cotton pickers, technology plays an integral role in the operations and management decisions of the northeast Arkansas farm.

运营中心是农场的核心数据平台。森特的理念是：让设备各司其职、远程管理数据，不增加操作员的操作负担。

Operations Center is the farm’s main data platform. Senter said his philosophy is to let the equipment do its job and manage data remotely rather than complicating the operator’s environment.

尽管技术更新迅速，新员工在森特的农场并不会跟不上。他表示，你不能只告诉员工怎么用精准农业工具，必须亲自演示。他的培训模式将讲解与实操结合，让新员工有信心操作系统，保障农场高效运转。

Even with technology advancing fast, new hires aren’t left behind at Senter’s farm. He explains you can’t just tell someone how to run precision ag tools; you must show them. His training approach blends explanation with experience, giving new employees the confidence to operate systems that keep his farm running efficiently.

“每一次田间作业都必须准确记录，因为这些数据会流入管理效率追踪与决策支持系统。”森特说，“海拔数据对灌溉与排水管理尤其重要，特别是在阿肯色州东北部，水资源管理至关重要。”

“Every field pass must be properly recorded, because the data feeds into software used for management efficiency tracking and decision-making,” Senter said. “Elevation data is particularly valuable for irrigation and drainage management, especially in northeast Arkansas, where water management is key.”

森特强调，今天的高质量数据能在未来持续发挥价值，例如优化排水系统、改进灌溉方式等。

Senter stressed that good data today can provide future value such as helping drainage systems or improving irrigation practices.
