May 27, 2026

Follow these quick steps to prepare for a smooth, successful spray season.

Spray season moves fast—so taking time now to prepare your AcreConnect® account can save you time (and headaches) later. Use this quick checklist to make sure everything is dialed in before your first flight.

 

1. Try our New Design Functionality


We’ve refreshed AcreConnect® to make it easier to navigate, faster to use, and better aligned with how you actually work in the field. The update focuses on reducing friction and helping you get more out of every spray season—while keeping the tools you already know and trust.


To get started, look for the banner at the top of your AcreConnect® account.

  • Explore updated mapping features
  • Test new tools before the season starts
  • Get familiar so you can move faster in the field

Trial users can also earn a discounted subscription, with a choice of either a $250 annual plan or a $25 per month plan during the program duration.


Complete your one-time account setup, then finish 3 of these 4 tasks each month:

3. Check Your Connections & Re-Sync Data


Integrations are critical for smooth operations. Take a few minutes to confirm everything is connected and syncing correctly.


  • Make sure your John Deere Operations Center™ or Climate FieldView™ account is connected with authorized organization enabled for easy application map sharing.
  • Ensure your QuickBooks® Online account is connected and re-synced to ensure all of your customer data is up to date.
  • If you have an EAVision drone, connect your accounts to allow for automatic log file syncing.
