Last year, New Holland announced what it called its “first” major update to the Connect Farm desktop platform and mobile app. The latest update includes support for prescriptions, large square balers, new layer visualizations and machine utilization maps.
“MyPLM Connect gives users instant access to their operation, helping them manage the farm from any location and make the correct decisions using real-time and historical data,” said Luke Zerby, New Holland PLM marketing manager.
Users will now have access to a wider range of field information when they select a map from the main map screen. They can now view field-specific data, such as activity layers, scouting observations and soil zone data. Field- and vehicle-specific data is now more easily accessible, with complete field and vehicle lists visible alongside the map. This allows users to switch between a map screen, a field list and a vehicle list quickly.

CNH plans for “more than 15 new tractor launches, 10 combine launches, 19 crop production launches and over 30 precision technology releases between now and the end of 2027.”
The new prescription creation tool allows equipment settings to be customized to match conditions in different areas of the field while on the go. Producers can tailor machine settings throughout the field to match the crop conditions.
Additionally, operators of NH large square balers can now select the specific bale drop location. Once selected, a pin will show the location of each bale within the field. The user can view individual bales and specific details by clicking on the pin for the given bale. Displayed information for each bale includes wet or dry weight, moisture percentage, density, capacity and flakes per bale.
