Tractors are synonymous to farming and seem to always have been. Its like peanut butter and jelly, if you have one, you expect the other. It always has been this way, but will it always be that way? Some scientists say probably not. Right now there is the hypothesis that one day drones will replace the iconic tractor in the world of farming. ludicrous right? But maybe not.
Technology already exists so that farmers can control computer operated tractors, they don't even have to be in the tractor. So how far fetched is the use of drones? Maybe not so far fetched...
The drones are predicted to help farmer maintain control over large ares of land. A primary use would be for surveillance. Sensors and cameras would allow the farmer to keep track of any activity in his fields without having to get on a tractor and go the x amount of acres out to the troubled spot. Seems like a good deal. But for all the Die hard, "Stick to the basic" people, Don't fret. Technology such as this wont be mainstream for YEARS to come, especially on a grand everyday-use scale.
So for now you can keep chuggin' along on the old John Deere.
