Environment of Innovation
We have truly lived in an environment of innovation in recent times. Next
January, most off-road diesel engines will need to meet Tier IV Final
or Euro 6 emissions. The 90% reduction in emissions requires a level
of technology that seemed impossible 10 short years ago when the
requirements were set. However, we have no time to rest. Innovations will
be needed in the future to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, increase food production,
develop new fuels, and solve thousands of other
problems facing the agriculture machinery
industry while still saving our natural resources
for future generations. The Agricultural Machinery
Conference (AMC) sets the groundwork of an
environment of innovation by facilitating the
sharing of knowledge and experiences to develop
Jim Evans
the new technologies and products needed to
General Chair
solve these problems.
28th Annual AMC
The 28th annual Agricultural Machinery
John Deere PEC
Conference will be held at The Ramada Hotel
Waterloo, IA
and Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center in
downtown Waterloo, Iowa. Waterloo is in the very heart of U.S. agriculture
and machinery industry. More than 220 agricultural manufacturers call
Iowa or its surrounding states home.
As always, the AMC kicks off on Monday with Continuing Education
Sessions held both in the morning and in the afternoon in the convention
center.This year's topics include: Overviews of J1939 and ISO11783,
Ductile and Compacted Graphite Iron Metal Castings, and Agricultural Tire
Design and Applications. On Monday afternoon, you will have a chance to
view today’s technology during a tour of the John Deere Engine Works in
Waterloo. In the evening, we will hold the opening ceremonies at Antique
Acres in Cedar Falls, IA. Greg “Machinery Pete” Peterson will speak on
“Tractor Trends: What is the used equipment market teaching us about new
equipment customer needs?"
Tuesday and Wednesday are filled with new technology and innovation
with keynote speakers at breakfast and lunch, as well as several technical
sessions on subjects such as wireless technology, vehicle simulation and
modeling,Tier 4 engine solutions and alternative fuels.
In between the technical sessions and speakers be sure to visit the
exhibit floor in the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center, which will be
filled with suppliers showcasing their latest products and technologies
for the agriculture industry. You will also be able to view displays of both
antiques and the latest innovations in farm equipment. An evening social
on Tuesday provides an additional opportunity to network with exhibitors,
which offer a wealth of knowledge on components, systems and services
targeted toward farming and other industry professionals attending the
conference.
We hope to see you in Waterloo, Iowa on May 6 to 8, 2013.

Morning Sessions
8:00 AM - 12:00 noon
I. J1939 Overview
Presented by: Aaron Galbraith, Product Specialist, Vector CANtech Inc.
Abstract: This training will increase an engineer’s understanding of the J1939
protocol. Participants will be given a brief overview of CAN covering subjects
about the OSI 7-Layer Model, CAN Protocol Overview and CAN Data Link
Layer. With these fundamental understandings, engineers will be introduced
to the J1939 protocol. J1939 topics include Network Topology, Data Link Layer,
J1939 System Parameter Groups and Parameters.
II. Metalcasting
Presented by: Industry members of the Ductile Iron Society
Abstract: Metalcastings are prevalent in all walk of life. They are key to
making the quality of life that we all enjoy happen. Take a few moments to
observe what your daily life would be like without Metalcastings and you will
quickly confirm this fact. The automotive, construction, housing, appliance and
the agriculture industries to name a few would not have advanced to the stage
that they are at without Metalcastings. The electronics industry would not be
needed if Metalcastings were non-existent.
The charter of the Ductile Iron Society is to promote the technical
advancements and application of ductile and compacted graphite irons.
Curriculum:
1) Introduction to the Metalcasting industry
2) Materials Presentation
• Family of Ductile Irons
