TRACY, Calif. — Investors and entrepreneurs behind some of the world’s newest industries have started to put their money and tech talents into farming — the world’s oldest industry — with an audacious agenda: to make sure there is enough food for the 10 billion people expected to inhabit the planet by 2100, do it without destroying the world and make a pretty penny along the way.

  1. Catherine,
    Look forward to more information on this. I am a new subscriber this year. I grew up in North Eastern North Dakota and was involved with a family farm operation until I moved into the transportation service industry in 1994. Around 1999 and 2000, I work for a large John Deere distributor based in Fargo, ND and was schooled on the capabilities of the farm equipment manufactured at that time. As I am a very tech savvy type person, I did ask lots of question on why and how the new technology was being integrated into the satellite tracking and operator controls of the JD tractors in 2001. It was my understanding that all operator controls were drive by wire at that time. You could also program macros into the ECM (Electronic Control Module) of the tractor to repeat the redundant task of turning the tractor around after finishing a pass of tillage or planting in your daily operations. On a plant tour at that time, I asked the question of why they would go to this length to automate the equipment. The response I received was that they planed on having each tractor capable of operating a second tractor as a drone following behind the first tractor. This was in 2001. Since I am not in the industry any more, I can only assume how much more development has gone into this. So your article is very timely. Keep up the great work. You have inspired me to look at Geopolitics and our Government Finances in a completely different way. I am very grateful for what you are doing. Also have picked up on the work of Dr Farrell through the Solari Report. What questions that you have not answered, Joseph has. My mind is still trying to absorb all of this new knowledge.

    Its been quite a ride.

    1. Larry:

      The revolution of integrating technology into the basic industries and day to day life is upon us. I am very curious to see how it touches our lives this year.

      It is music to my ears to know that we are providing you with knowledge that can serve you and yours. Suggestions welcome!

      Catherine
