Ag Leader SeedCommand® gives you complete control of your planter so every seed has the best opportunity to become a profitable bushel.

Whether you're looking to improve emergence, eliminate skips and doubles, increase planting speed, or maintain proper downforce across changing field conditions, SeedCommand provides the technology to help maximize yield potential from the very first pass. 

Why Farmers Are Upgrading Their Planters

Every pass across the field represents an opportunity—or a missed opportunity.

Seed placement errors caused by poor downforce, inconsistent spacing, or changing field conditions can reduce emergence uniformity and limit yield potential before the crop even comes out of the ground.

SeedCommand helps you:

Maintain ideal seed depth

Reduce skips and doubles

Improve emergence consistency

Plant confidently across varying soil conditions

Increase productivity at higher planting speeds

Capture valuable planting data

SureForce®

Automatic Hydraulic Downforce Control

SureForce automatically adjusts row-unit pressure hundreds of times per minute to maintain optimal ground contact.

Benefits:

  • Consistent planting depth
  • Better emergence uniformity
  • Improved root development
  • Reduced compaction from excess downforce
  • Increased yield potential in varying field conditions

SureDrive®

Electric Row Shutoffs & Variable Rate Planting

SureDrive replaces mechanical drives with electric meter drives for row-by-row control.


Benefits:

  • Reduced overlap
  • Lower seed costs
  • Better population management
  • Improved productivity
  • Precise variable-rate planting

SureSpeed®

High-Speed Precision Planting

Plant accurately at speeds up to 12 mph while maintaining spacing accuracy.



Benefits:

  • More acres planted per day
  • Greater planting window flexibility
  • Reduced weather risk
  • Improved labor efficiency
  • Maintained singulation at higher speeds


How Much Performance Is Your Planter Leaving in the Field?

Planter Performance Questions

1. Downforce Management ⓘ Too little downforce can cause shallow planting. Too much downforce can create sidewall compaction. Automatic downforce helps maintain consistent seed depth across changing field conditions.

2. Seed Placement Consistency ⓘ Consistent seed depth and spacing help support even emergence. Uneven emergence can create competition between plants and reduce yield potential.

3. Row Shutoffs ⓘ Row shutoffs reduce overlap in point rows, headlands, waterways, and irregular fields. This can reduce seed waste and prevent plant competition.

4. Variable Rate Planting ⓘ Variable-rate planting helps match population to productivity zones, placing seed where it has the best chance to produce a return.

5. Monitoring & Data ⓘ A planting display should give the operator real-time visibility into planter performance, including population, singulation, spacing, row performance, maps, and diagnostics. Better information helps catch problems before they cost yield.

6. Technology Age ⓘ Planter technology has advanced significantly. Newer systems often provide better automation, mapping, diagnostics, and upgrade flexibility.
