John Deere Autonomous Tillage System Gets Tryout in North Dakota Fields

  • On May 7, 2025, Gooseneck Implement employees tested a John Deere autonomous tillage system near Glen Ullin, North Dakota.
  • This testing followed rising labor shortages in agriculture, with about 116,400 annual worker openings projected through 2033 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
  • The system, a Precision Upgrade Kit added to a 9RX John Deere tractor, uses 16 cameras and AI to operate autonomously while monitoring surroundings for safety.
  • Jim Campbell of Gooseneck Implement noted that using a tractor remotely, without an operator inside the cab, enables more tasks to be completed with the existing workforce.
  • The technology is not yet commercially available, and Campbell believes adoption might take time as producers become comfortable with trusting autonomous machinery.
