I hope this doesn’t discourage farmers from using technology to improve efficiency, yields, profits, etc.
I can’t imagine how tough it is to farm for your livelihood. The pressure on farmers must be brutal - from John Deere making it impossible to fix/own your own tractor[0] to climate change, and now your landlord might not renew your lease.
At that point, why put so much effort into something with so little upside and so much downside for the farmer.
