Just a random musing. As EV’s become more popular, means less gas being used, means potentially lower prices since supply of gas should increase? Or do they just cut production and keep prices the same.

Wondering what will happen in the long term.

    People steal fuel from farmers. That is a cost.

    We would have loved an electric tractor that was always full in the morning and you use your cell phone instead of a key!

    If half of our farm tractors were changed immediately, we would have no difference in productivity.

    Electric tractors always start in the coldest -40 and require little maintenance. All you do is fix things on a farm, anything not broken would be wonderful!

      The common barn will eventually need to be heated to keep these battery’s from freezing. Or have them plugged in all the time I suppose if they have heaters. Will be interesting.

        Right, some with Cattle keep the barn warm already.

        My EV trucks starts just fine at -40, not plugged in overnight. I am not worried.
