How big you ask? - I'm an interested watcher of where Farm Machinery is headed. We covered how complex it's all getting a week or so ago. 

We attended the Wimmera Field Days last week, and the hot topic was how big the Machinery has got. Most people we spoke to were asking where it was all going to end. Honestly, how much bigger can it get? 

There is a lot of press about Automation in Farm Machinery, but we didn't see much, if any, at the Field Days. My take on Automation is that it's going to be a long transition period simply because people need to trust that it's going to do an equivalent job to what we currently have. That will take time. 

I love what SwarmFarm is doing. It's bold and revolutionary, and because they aren't mass producing their Tractors, it means they can keep infiltrating them into the market and build Farmer's confidence in what they are doing. The plug-and-play market where say, John Deere adds some Automation to a current piece of Machinery will be attractive to Farmers because they won't have to change over their Machinery Fleet completely.
