Automated Crop Removal Prescriptions
Automatically turn your yield maps into variable rate phosphorus and potassium prescriptions with VRAFY!
When looking at your yield maps, does your yield stay consistent across the entire field? Of course not… so why apply fertilizer that way? Is creating a variable rate prescription too time consuming and you want to get out there and spread as soon as possible?
Problem Solved! All levels of VRAFY come with variable rate fertilizer prescriptions that are automatically generated as soon as 24 hours after you finish harvesting that field. Using your yield data, the fertilizers needed to replace the nutrients removed by the crop are calculated, then prescriptions are automatically created and loaded into your John Deere Operations Center account. Now you can download the prescriptions, send them to your equipment, or share them with your fertilizer applicator, regardless of the monitor brand in their equipment.
With phosphorus prices being high in 2025, you can easily spend over $65/ac applying just phosphorus alone! Make sure that your fertilizer investment matches your field's variability.

This 149 acre field grew a 217bu corn crop. If you were to flat rate apply this field, you would need 146 pounds of MAP 11-52-0 to meet the phosphorus needs of the crop removed. At $900/ton this would cost you $9,877
With VRAFY, you would apply the same amount, but you would be putting it WHERE THE CROP NEEDS IT.
If you were to flat rate apply the above scenario
- 45% of the field would be under fertilized
- 30% of the field would be over fertilized
