Seems maybe that burned Deere was most likely electrical. That got me thinking about this story on the net about hackers getting in to computers on farm equipment. Didn't that kind of thing happen to some Chrysler products recently?
What if known ner-do-wells managed to hack in to all of the computers in new tractors and application equipment some spring right in the heart of planting? Especially if it was something that took two,four,six weeks to remedy before the big guys with the new stuff could plant again. Scary thought in terms of food production. A windfall for those with older analog equipment I suppose,if there was a bright spot in such a scenario.
