If you read books like Subscribed, you’ve heard that the answer may be a “subscription” to the equipment, a more comprehensive version of rental, just like Netflix. Think of all the data flows, the computers and the equipment. That stuff is hard to own and manage, and some farmers may not want the hassle, especially as the next generation takes control.
