Robert do you know if the farmers buy new equipment after a big harvest year and/or on a pre-defined schedule?

My brother in-law is a farm adviser (through the University extension) in Oregon (mainly grass seed). His observation is the better the year the more equipment purchased in the next year.

Yes, I am eyeing a few small tech AG companies that support Farmers w/ "cloud" services.

AgJunction Inc. (AJXGF) -OTC Markets is one I have been following. No position yet but I have been looking at their cloud service technology.

FWIW I do not trade on TA (I sometime use bollinger bands to determine best entry points) but only after I determine there is a value proposition and I want to own the stock based on that.

I know in farming there is still a lot left up to the weather so maybe technology can help the farmer in this area.
