[QUOTE="Dave, post: 519403, member: 498"] I am not saying that there can't be improvements in the current system. Precision farming has done some absolutely amazing things and continues to grow. GPS guided spray rigs that drive themselves so there is no overlap. I know a guy who has one. You don't drive after the first pass, you just sit and watch the gauges. It does everything else. Fertilizer applicators that detect the amount of green on the plant leaves and apply fertilizer accordingly while you are driving over them. Combines that measure yield while you are working and then produce a map that shows the yield so you can fertilize accordingly. They say perennial wheat is almost here. Pen riders in a large feedlot with a palm pilot on the saddle to enter information about sick calves getting pulled from the pen to doctor. There are some things that have and will continue to improve farming. There always has been and there always will be. But that palm pilot packing pen rider is still on a horse. That GPS guided spray rig, combine, tractor is still a tractor. And when you go to gather 350 pairs out of 30,000 acres of brush, timber, rocks, and canyons you still better be able saddle up.
