When you build a free product, the end user is not a customer, they are the product. I wonder how many farmers like being the product and not the customer.

Careful because the other extreme has its own problems: my company only has paid customers who prepay for the entire year. While this has helped us pay the bills and cover cost, it has been detrimental to building a great product because we aren't getting as much feedback as we would if we had 10x users. I'm finally reaching a stage where I may take up a job just so we can give away free trials and not have to rely as much on near term revenue to pay the bills.

Why don't you give 15-30 day trials?
