Building on what has been said here:

• Yes, I understand OptiGro and SIS operations are ceasing.
• Other existing groups within John Deere Agri-Services such as the Agris group are continuing strong.
• MapShots has a business relationship with John Deere Agri-Services for the inclusion of GIS and Precision Ag functionality in the Agris AgroGuide product.
• MapShots has no current business relationship with John Deere AMS.   However, we have done contract work for AMS at various times during the life of MapShots.  Our work in supporting the GS1 and GS2 FODDs for other third-party vendors is done as part of our routine support of any FODDs that we write.

Farmworks and Agco have both been strong supporters of the movement toward standardized ag data exchange and the Farmworks X2 package incorporates many of the same plug-in data driver philosophies that we have always promoted at MapShots. 

Thanks.
