I don’t have smart anything on my 1980s and 90s equipment, but I use the grid fertilizer sampling and spreading the coop offers, and use my drone to watch fields from a different angle, and use this iPad to learn a lot about better Ag ideas.
Farming sure has changed a lot, mostly for the better, even if you still hold your own steering wheel. How fertilizer is used and applied is number one, how we understand and use all the different types of seed and weed and fertilizers is just so important.
Seemed back in the 60s and 70s ‘more was better’ whether seed, fertilizer, herbicide, number of acres.... just, ‘more.’

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony.
