Farmers tend to buy well used many mile over the road semis for the seasonal 5-120 mile hauls we make.
It would be a long time until EV semis would normally make it to the farm use level. The cost per bu moved would be astronomical for most farmers to buy a new EV or conventional semi!
With govt mandates we really dont know wha happens any more, I think a lot of farmers are flummoxed trying to figure out what lies ahead for them in this modern world. Im glad Im old enough I can probably ride things out.
Most of the political mandates from any party at this time seem to be aimed at creating monster sized farm corporations that can afford to use the new expensive technologies and govt grants spread out on many acres.

The typical family farm of today is the one that everyone talks about, but doesnt understand and is the one most in peril of being eliminated from this country.
It is a sad state of affairs.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm.
