2025 field work

I read Deere has a nice box to plug into your equipment. Costs $2-300. The cables to hook it up are not included. Is that correct? They probably cost $3000. I hear you can buy a black market laptop that is as good as what JD people carry.
 
Foxtail is becoming a huge problem in organic beans. Some fields have large areas that you can’t see any beans
 
Also is the multiple tillage passes the organic guys do release carbon in the air or is the ozone not a problem anymore?

Yes NC IA organic farmers are soil killers. I’m unsure where ozone comes into the equation though. Can’t go into real science here, because CF.

I honestly give up counting the number of passes around here.... I like my tractor time but not that much.
 
How about going over to Charles City and start building Olivers again cab heat and air. Kinda like Johnny Cash bringing parts home to build his car.
i wonder if we could buy the naming rights and start a new oliver tractor company

They want to make farming a subscription. They are aiming for more SaaS products. As they figure that out, they will make slightly smaller equipment at an ok price
Im lost SaaS is what?
Never mind someone else answered it.
 
anyone have insight into what john deere's plans are for the future?

is it just giant $500k smart tractors?
I'd heard they're really pushing for small to mid-size electric tractors for fruit/grove production crops. Not sure if that is intended to 'scale-up' in the future (large Ag farmers) or to 'scale-down' in the future (RoW Ag farmers who can use the tractor battery to do more than just manage their crops).

The new $1,000,000 tractor has a 3” port to load fuel, on the move. I have not seen a picture of this , but I would not be surprised if. They are close to having a new diesel motor that burns clean enough that does not need def or the big filters. Part of that has Trump changing emissions laws. Mandate biodiesel helps engines meet stiffer emissions standards.

I wouldn’t want to fuel on the move.
