I don't see how farmers can afford to not use this tech, but I also don't understand how they can afford them. We constantly told about the thin margins farmers work with, which seems like the math to afford the payments on these machines ever work out.
It also seems like this is one of those things that buying the base model is never enough. There were two different types of row cleaners in the front of the towed unit. There were devices at the back of each row that also seem like an add-on. The thing that presses the seeds down, and then the smart version that detected soil moisture and other info. Of course that's one of those 'for a small nominal fee' type of add-ons. John Deere seems to figure out how to keep his hand in the farmer's pocket eternally
