Doug Wilson of Ursa Ag has built a repairable dumb tractor specifically to provide an alternative in the market to John Deere's high-tech tractors. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social spoke with Doug on how the response has been.

Reaching rural hungry people in rural areas may be tough. No coffee shop free wifi. And who has computers or smart phones anyway?
