What's new in Phase: end of October 2026
New in Phase for harvest: grain deliveries matched to each paddock, one notice board for the whole farm, John Deere jobs every night and pens on the map.
Harvest is on, and the farms on Phase now cover nearly 1.2 million acres. This update is about the trucks leaving the paddock, the crew who drive them, and what you can read off the ground afterwards. Here is what has landed in Phase since the middle of October.
Grain deliveries, matched to each paddock
Link your bulk handler account once and every load you deliver comes into Phase on its own, this harvest's and last harvest's. Phase then estimates each paddock's grain quality from the loads that left while your John Deere header was working it: protein, screenings, moisture, test weight, falling number and grades.
Every load also sits in one place, each crop's tonnes, grades and quality, load by load, as in the picture above. More bulk handlers and grain platforms are coming soon.
Find it under More → Data Feeds, then Yield Centre → Deliveries.
One notice board for the whole farm
Lists, notes and jobs now live together on one Notice board that everyone on the farm works from. Post to it from your phone with a photo or your voice, assign anything to anyone, mention a person with @ and a paddock or machine with #, and turn a pin on the map into a job. A machine that is tagged out sits across the top until it is back in service, so nobody starts it by mistake.
Its Calendar shows the season by day, week or month: harvest loads, deliveries, sprays, stock moves and jobs, each on the day it happened.
It is under More → Daily work → Notice board, and its card sits third on everyone's Overview, after the map and the forecast. Move it wherever you like after that.
John Deere jobs every night, and a profit map
Each night Phase pulls your finished John Deere jobs into Reconcile on its own, with the diesel actually burned, fuel and speed maps, and a coverage map of exactly what went on where.
Put that together with your yield maps, costs and prices and Financial Performance → Analyse draws a profit map of every paddock, per hectare. Open it in Phase Spatial to build zone and prescription maps from it. John Deere diesel and maps come with Phase Ultra.
Pens on the map, and a simpler Livestock
Trace your pens once on the satellite photo and the yard map shows which mob is in each. Feeding, moving and receiving stock are simpler too: one Move does what Move, Split and Merge used to, and the Feeding tab holds the morning round.
Find it under Livestock → Feeding → Pens.
Read a paddock as you drag across it
In Phase Spatial, turn on the Crosshair and drag the map. Yield, soil, elevation and every other layer read out together under it as you go.
Switch to 3D and play a storm over the paddock to see where the water runs and where it sits, or a frost night to see where the cold air pools. Rain, frost and wind over a paddock explains how it works. Phase Spatial comes with Phase Ultra.
Link your Origo.ag weather stations
Link your Origo.ag account and pick your stations. Each one brings its history into Phase and gets its own widget on your Overview.
Mark a spray done, or confirm a John Deere spray in Reconcile, and the weather at that moment fills itself in from the nearest station that reports conditions: temperature, wind speed and direction, and humidity. If the conditions on the job were different, change them before you save.
Find it under More → Sensors → Add sensor.
Also new
- Two crops in one season. Split a season into its summer and winter crops and plan one half at a time.
- Sign on and off. If someone has not signed off when they said they would, the owners and managers are told.
- Tag a machine out. Lock it out with a reason and a photo, and everyone on the farm is told.
- Rain radar in CarPlay. Tap the rain cloud on the CarPlay map.
Getting the update
There is nothing to install. The website updates itself, and the iPhone and Android apps pick up the same changes over the air.
