John Deere has a surprisingly robust API. Their Operations Center exposes data for fields, farms, equipment telemetry, machine locations, harvest data — basically everything a precision agriculture app could need.

What they don’t have is an SDK.

If you want to integrate with Deere, you’re reading OpenAPI specs and writing boilerplate. Pagination? Handle it yourself. Retries? Figure it out. TypeScript types? Generate your own.

I needed this for a project, so I built it. Then I figured: why keep it to myself?
