That troubles some farmer advocates and students of agriculture., a professor who runs a field robotics program at Santa Clara University and studies agricultural automation, says the data collected by autonomous tractors could be so useful to farmers that Deere could charge extra to access it. It might also make it harder for rivals to compete.
Ultimately, Kenney says, Deere may not even need farmers, dispatching autonomous tractors to manage large-scale “robotic farms.” Hindman says such fears are unfounded because of the shortage of farm labor and because farmers will benefit as the new tractor improves and gains new functionality. He says farmers can opt out of sharing data.
But Hindman agrees that the farmer is no longer inextricably tied to his equipment. “We've now figured out how to decouple the labor from the machine,” he says. Unlike in the days of the plow, the farmer is not even strictly necessary.
Here's hoping they have fixed their servers:

Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my twitter. I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to cooperate?
still running on fuel? i predict with all that added equipment the batteries wouldn't last but for a couple drags down the line.
MMW, AI tractors will democratize that idea of autopilot and will give companies like Tesla or Mercedes an open road (pun intended) to innovate in the self-driving features.

What if we didn't let 1000s of companies reinvent the wheel over and over but instead used resources efficiently to modernize agriculture for sustainability and efficiency via an open collaboration approach (similar to Open Source Ecology)? Rapid & only few standardized products.
Human menial labor jobs will be obsolete by 2050. This radical disruption in the labor market will require innovative solutions by governments, unless we are willing to roll over for the coming trillionaire overlords.
I knew there has to be reason the John Deere episode kept popping up in my feed today. For easy reference if interested, great related episode below with: patrick_oshag zbfuss mattcoutts_
