Farmers tend to buy well used many mile over the road semis for the seasonal 5-120 mile hauls we make.
It would be a long time until EV semis would normally make it to the farm use level. The cost per bu moved would be astronomical for most farmers to buy a new EV or conventional semi!
With govt mandates we really dont know wha happens any more, I think a lot of farmers are flummoxed trying to figure out what lies ahead for them in this modern world. Im glad Im old enough I can probably ride things out.
Most of the political mandates from any party at this time seem to be aimed at creating monster sized farm corporations that can afford to use the new expensive technologies and govt grants spread out on many acres.

The typical family farm of today is the one that everyone talks about, but doesnt understand and is the one most in peril of being eliminated from this country.
It is a sad state of affairs.
Yes this is a bit of a political/ emotional response, but Im not all one sided and just my opinion, I hope we can be calm about discussing a real issue and if you feel different than me that is ok we can share ideas not throw bricks at each other. :)

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
