Setting up seeding with C-Series Air Carts is effortless and efficient, thanks to the plug and play technology. The John Deere Operations Center™ integration offers seamless data management and planning, optimizing seeding operations. Work Planner simplifies task organization for smooth field execution. Additionally, color-coded hoses provide visual guidance, enhancing user-friendliness during setup between the cart, tool, and tractor. The introduction of EZCal revolutionizes the calibration process, ensuring precise seeding operations with unmatched convenience and speed. Together, these features streamline the user experience, making seeding setup simple and efficient, getting you to the field sooner than ever before.
EZCal revolutionizes the calibration process for the C-Series Air Cart, offering unparalleled convenience and efficiency. By streamlining and automating calibration tasks, EZCal enables users to achieve precision at a remarkable 45% faster rate compared to leading competitors. This innovative system empowers farmers to optimize their operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance overall productivity, setting a new standard for ease and speed in the calibration of agricultural equipment.
EZCal is like pressing the easy button on calibration. With EZCal, users can easily pour a bucket full of product into the hopper, select the roller color on the G5e cart side display, and initiate calibration. They can then proceed to tender the cart while the calibration process runs. Once completed, users can accept the MDV, seamlessly sending the data to the Gen 4 or G5 display, eliminating the need to remember numbers and reducing steps.
Please see the EZCal animation below for more information.
EZCal features an integrated load cell that automatically measures the initial and final weights of the hopper, enabling the calculation of the product distribution amount during calibration. Upon completion of the calibration, the measured weight is utilized to determine the meter displacement value (MDV), which is then seamlessly transmitted to the Gen 4 or G5 display in the cab, provided the farmer accepts the calibration.
EZCal is controlled from the G5e cart side display, removing the requirement to repeatedly move between the cart and the cab during calibration. This streamlined process reduces numerous steps and eliminates the need to physically maneuver on the ground during calibration. With the G5e cart side display, users can easily calibrate one or multiple tanks simultaneously, selecting the desired meter roller for each tank.
Released in model year 2025, the AccuRate metering system brings a host of improvements, most notably a significant increase in seeding accuracy through the incorporation of individual electric meters per primary run. By introducing electric meters, John Deere empowers customers with more precise seeding capabilities across the entire width of the tool. This enhancement is made possible through a range of innovative features outlined in the benefits section.
The AccuRate meters not only provide unparalleled accuracy, but also drastically reduce the maintenance required. To ensure maximum durability, the AccuRate metering system features a robust blend of stainless steel and composite materials. This combination guarantees a completely corrosion-resistant meter bank, providing customers with a reliable solution that stands the test of time.

SectionCommand Pro is an effective, integrated, exclusive John Deere solution that reduces costly overlaps and skips that can waste seed and fertilizer, while offering more consistent fields that improve the potential of your yield and your bottom line.
Thanks to the AccuRate individual electric meter we can control commodity flow by maintaining the right application rates across each primary. All while eliminating potential seed damage and dumping effect by stopping the meter when each section is shut off. This helps stimulate even crop emergence during the growing season and promotes consistent crop maturity at harvest. SectionCommand Pro controls output from each meter on the cart.
SectionCommand Pro controls seed and fertilizer output by stopping and starting each meter with the electric motor. This ensures accurate metering across each meter section eliminating potential seed dumping or seed damage.
Section Control activation or subscription is required on the display to utilize any features of SectionCommand Pro. As with other John Deere Section Control products, a StarFire™ SF1 signal is the minimum level of accuracy recommended for operation. Please reference John Deere Section Control under Precision Ag Technologies for more information. The activation is included in the following.
Due to the varying lengths of product delivery hose used across the drill, SectionCommand Pro has a built-in equalizer feature to ensure consistent product delivery across the width of the drill when entering and exiting headlands. The software allows the producer to set the on/off product delivery times separately for the outermost opener and the innermost opener on the drill. Product delivery times are inputted for each tank on the cart, and the software creates a time delay for each individual electric meter.
Please see the SectionCommand Pro animation for more information.
With input costs rising, it is increasingly important to manage inputs through variable rate application to manage cost and maximize crop potential. Released in model year 2025, the AccuRate™ metering system enable more precise control of inputs to achieve higher fidelity prescriptions for variable rate. With an individual electric meter per primary, the AccuRate meters can vary rate up to 8x more precisely than previous John Deere air carts. This allows you to place the correct rate down in each section, reducing overapplying when the width of the seeder is in multiple prescription zones.
Model year 2024 and older models of John Deere air carts had limitations when it came to seeding prescriptions. The seeder could only apply a single rate across the entire width, even when in multiple different prescription rates. The default setting was to apply the rate from the highest zone across the entire width resulting in over applying in lower rate zones.
However, with the introduction of the AccuRate meters, this limitation has been overcome. The AccuRate meters have the capability to reduce the width of the zone rate by up to 8 times. This enhancement allows for a much closer match to the target rate specified in the prescription.
To give you a visual representation, below is a graphic illustrating the reduced zone widths on a P670 Precision Hoe Drill.

Seeding in fields with obstacles such as terraces, waterways, and utility poles can pose difficulties. Traditional air carts using one-meter sections face limitations in varying the seeding rate across the seeder, resulting in uneven distribution when maneuvering around curves to avoid these difficulties. This disparity arises from the difference in distance covered between the inside and outside rows, causing overpopulation in the inside rows and underpopulation in the outside rows.
Fortunately, the challenge of uneven seeding on curves is effectively tackled by the curve compensation feature in the AccuRate™ meters. This feature ensures that each section of the seeder receives a unique signal based on the speed of the seeder, resulting in accurate seeding rates across the entire width of the seeder when going around curves. Thanks to this technology, farmers can achieve consistent and uniform seeding even when navigating curves in the field.
Hitting your target rate across the entire drill through curves has a direct impact on stand counts in the field. In a recent study conducted by John Deere, using curve compensation improved stand count on the inside of the curve by 5.1% and the outside of the curve by 11.7%. Furthermore, having curve compensation on through curves has shown to improve the difference in stand count between the inside and outside of the curve. With curve compensation on, the difference is 1.5%, compared to 8.4% when curve compensation is off. This study was conducted across five locations in 2025.
This stand count improvement matters because uniform plant density is the foundation for small-grain yield and weed control. Thin spots on the outside of curves leave sunlight and space that weeds can capture early, while thick spots on the outside can create uneven crop development. An even stand count helps:

With proper management and the right selection of cover crops, you can slow soil erosion, improve soil health, enhance water availability, suppress weeds, control pests and diseases, increase biodiversity, and reap numerous other benefits for your farm’s health and profitability. Cover crops act as a protective shield for the soil, reducing the impact of heavy rains and wind, which in turn minimizes topsoil loss. They improve soil structure by adding organic matter and fostering beneficial soil microorganisms, which enhances nutrient cycling and retention.
Additionally, cover crops can break up compacted soil layers, improving root penetration and water infiltration. By suppressing weeds, they reduce the need for chemical herbicides, leading to more sustainable farming practices. Cover crops also provide beneficial habitat for insects and pollinators, boosting on-farm biodiversity. Furthermore, they can help in sequestering carbon, contributing to climate change mitigation. Overall, integrating cover crops into your farming system can lead to more resilient and productive agricultural landscapes, ultimately enhancing long-term profitability.
