Yes! Have you had any experiences with that?

Another area is parts. Farmers have time periods limited by weather/season to plant, fertilize, harvest. If a part goes awry, they can lose precious days and loads of green getting a part from across the country. I've heard the horror stories. I got to thinking..hmm.. could 3-D printing create a temp solution so they could use less expensive slower shipping of the permanent part?

And what about driveless equipment for the field work? What about programs that are based on recipes to know what the fields really need and when.

As wheat prices have plunged here, beef has become an income producer. Small herds -- freely grazed. Good stuff. But they cannot leave the farms when you have cattle. Hard to find people to care for your stock when you are gone. Could tech help? I think so.. but... how..

And what about more remote jobs for rural folks? Heck, we have fiber! Teach...and employ them with urban-based companies who are in need of tech help.

Too many ideas... I am likely crazy. I wish I knew! :-)

No experience with tractor DRM.

All those things sound like good ideas to the mind of a non-farmer.

Fiber in rural areas but not in the city! Think I need to move.

Yeah..The fiber in rural is fascinating. It is part of a national push to spur economic development in rural areas. We now need more nerds in the countryside as I still find myself explaining what fiber is! You can build a custom $300,000 home here that is 3500 sq ft on one-fourth acre.
