I read the story a day, or 2 ago. I still do things way same way I did 20 years ago, & can say I don't care to change. Lets take fertilizer for example. Went to the Louisville Farm Show & found a broadcast Fertilizer spreader that could be hooked to the electronics of Your tractor which would have computer data showing areas where less nutrients were needed. The computer would then adjust how much fertilizer would be realeased to the spinners as You travel through the field. Of course the price was astronomical even for a 6, or 8 ton spreader. All hydraulic also meant using a newer tractor. The salesman told me that an IH 1066 might not even have enough GPM to run the plumbing. I have a IH 666 I want to pull it with. Half the power, & 1/3 less GPM. I told him its PTO operated, or nothing for me. I don't want to be pulling a 6 ton spreader with a $100,000 tractor. & how do you control a 60 foot spread pattern, & get the correct amount applied on the left, & the right at the same time? The machine can only regulate all 60 foot span; not part of it!
We are getting too advanced in some areas of farming. Collecting data is OK; but how much do we really need? & what we think we need changes daily with Floods, & droughts. Even a computer cant keep up with that!
