Just this week I saw an ad from John Deere, where a young tractor operator bragged about disconnecting all of his tractors GPS systems. He then hops on his tractor and slaps a removable GPS system on top of the tractors cab. It is a portable GPS system that plugs into any John Deere Tractor.

In a very recent event I see where John Deere is going to negotiate with Elon Musk's Star Link:

Starlink


Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by private aerospace company SpaceX, providing coverage to over 71 countries. It also aims for global mobile phone service after 2023.

SpaceX is rumored to be a spinoff/IPO. That might be my first dabble with Elon's ventures.

As a side note I make sauerkraut with one of the past owners of Miller Implement. Leo Reister, who ran the Miller Bobcat franchise, which is across the road from where NHI BOOM Sprayers are made.He and his family are the multipoint John Deere dealers in a large part of Wisconsin. Good folks, fun to be with.
