Since then many companies have formed, merged, and gone out of the tractor making business. In the first 30 years, tractors made huge gains in performance, but the basics of the tractor have not changed in over 50 years. Farming in general needs to be rethought to help farmers achieve financial stability. Over the years, tractors have only been made bigger, more expensive and more gadgets have been added. Because of all the new conveniences that have been added to tractors, it takes a highly trained technician to repair them which means more expense to the farmer. With the exponential gains in technology in the last 15 years, the driverless tractor is the future of farming. The driverless…

A growing trend of technological advancement in the peanut industry is auto steering tractors. The technology involves a system that uses GPS technology to assist farmers in guiding tractors and navigating through their fields. Auto-steering is leading farmers to bigger profit margins and higher crop yields; the technology, therefore, increased efficiency in harvesting by reducing the harvest time and reducing the number of peanuts left in the ground. A study conducted by George Vellidis who is…
