Part of the reason is likely that farming equipment is bloody expensive. A new combine harvester can cost nearly a million dollars, and there aren’t a hell of a lot of used electrical machines on the market yet. Each farm will have several machines the currently run on gas or diesel. How many can the average farmer afford to replace how fast?
Okay I really don’t understand why this wouldn’t push for electrification?
Is it because the big machines they need is made by monopolies like John deer and they refuse to go electric?
