The new tractors are something. GPS with a 3 foot target area. 4 row planters have grown to 24 rows and put down the chemicals at the same time. The GPS is for putting down fertilizer at the rate right for the spot, not the field.

Farmers work hard 4 months out of the year, the other 8 is taken up by paperwork, planning and repairs.
