[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 519387, member: 7645"] I don't think that the tractor will EVER become obsolete; however the future tractor is probably not going to look that much like a John Deere 4020. I saw a self propelled forage windrower on the Discovery Channel one of the Land Grant Universities was operating. Clearly the goal is to get rid of the operator. I think we will live to see one old guy 70 year old guy sitting at his desk operating a couple of tractors and combines by remote control. Eventually, (and I don't know how long this will take) we will be able to fire the remote operator and the planting and harvesting will be done by true robotic tractors. Cattlehand is also right. Future genetically modified crops will take a lot less tillage (perennial corn anyone??) and need a lot less inputs with ever increasing yields. [/QUOTE]
