John Deere ditches MyJobs task management tool >More in John Deere has discontinued one of its key app-based task management tools. Used by operators to manage and record jobs through the company’s precision farming packages, the MyJobs app was withdrawn at the start of January. The firm says the reasoning behind this was twofold. First, it wants to further integrate task management into the actual tractor terminal rather than relying on third-party hardware such as tablets and smartphones. The second reason cited is that global uptake of the MyJobs app was lower than anticipated and so the cost of running and maintaining the software could no longer be justified.
