Yes, this a ridiculous PR puff-piece. JD saw something coming and got into the business along with a bunch of other companies. There are a lot of competing GPS technology companies that make products just as good if not better and sell well in the absence of the advantages that JD had from the start.
Hemisphere GNSS, whose (Outback) products I use, has a superior product in my opinion and started a few years before Deere got interested in the business at all.

It looks like the author normally covers consumer technology, so she probably doesn't know much about the agriculture or GPS industries. I would give her the benefit of the doubt of not knowing (which in journalism isn't really an excuse), but either way it's bad journalism.
