I don’t work in the world of big row crop farms but I think it’s


probably hard to buy a new tractor today that doesn’t have all of the computer driven components. I don’t necessarily know that they “need” that kind of computerized equipment but I’m sure it is a bit more efficient.

I am toying with buying a new sprayer that has a radar unit. It will start, stop and adjust the number of nozzles used, so each tree gets a customized “perfect” amount of chemical. The benefits are less expense on chemicals and better for the environment.
The drawback is it 3 to 4 times more expensive than what I use now and then you have to consider the electronics maintenance like these farmers are dealing with.
