reading report.

Hi guys,
  Today, Dad went off to haul some grain, after a bit of trouble getting the truck started; Cora went to go babysitting at a daycare; Andrew worked on our neighbor's car (I helped a little too...) Mom has been working around the house; and I have my school to work on...

  Today, for my reading assignment, I picked a farming magazine, and I started reading an article about what they think farming will be like in 2021!  So far, we have read that they think that there will be verities of crops that will be drought; frost; and flood resistant! :D

  Also, there have been some very interesting demonstrations in automonos farming recently, including a driverless grain cart, driverless corn planter, a system from John Deere that matches a cart's speed to the combines, and a system from Fendt that links 2 tractors together, so that the first 1st has a driver, and he controls the 2nd one as well!

  Currently, even though people still have to drive stuff, it could be changing very soon!  Now days, there are GPS guidence systems that well guide your tractor within an inch of accurate!  Anyway, very interesting stuff!  Time to go do chores,
 Jacob B. ;)
