The MOU with Farm Bureua was a promised continuation of the status quo and probably the simplest PR both could do.

I can get into software for $1800. That's cheaper than the radiator I put a fan through last harvest. For the price of the radiator, I can have OEM cable and software or third-party that comes with a laptop.

Preach. It's a combo of Tier IV and shitty dealers that have it where it is, and farmers being a nice emotional image for the movement.

Can think of at least one third-party software option that claims dealer level interface. Tier IV is the cause of a lot of the problems, DEF is one of my least favorite liquids when it's -20 out.

JD service advisor is like $1500 for the cable then $250/mo or something on the software. Makes a guy wish he'd paid when it was a one time.
