Is that through Farmers Edge?

Yup, I think there's a few other options but this one seems to be the preference in our area. It's still ramping up a few features (mostly related to irrigated land) but will be a game changer for a data nerd like me.

On this particular model, $8500 and 0.9% lease. They are blowing out the '18s because the new 330i's are landing.

Silk silver PLA because a friend wanted a pretty oregano grinder lol (yes I have much dialing in with this material to do)

Daily NDVI satellite imagery for the farm (with a bunch of other features). GPS + drones/satellites + automation + variable rate equipment = very cool technology in ag these days.

@birdman86 Got any gophers that need dealing with?

This is pretty cool - looking to add some value to our farm. What does "health" mean? Do you have their weather stations? Is it just soil temp/moisture etc?

Expensive Holley Gear

Did you get it with the tranny controller functionality?

I'm keeping my eye on them, sounds like one of the only factory GM electronic overdrive controllers that works along with running the rest of the LS. When I go for big power, I may switch.

Did you see the release though? This one is like half price compared to the older ones. $999US no electronic tranny, $1300US with the transmission control. So after the cost of an LS wiring harness($900cnd) and getting an ecu and flashing/tuning, it wasn't much more for the holley setup, plus you can tie your boost controll and a couple other things into the system..

I got it with out the transmission control, i have 4l80 with a manual valve body going in the car. Hopefully i don't hate that lol.

Yup terminator x is the new hot shit, and cheap too. Aimed specifically at the LS guys.

That death star grinder is sweet lol

Health change just maps out how biomass has changed from the prior day. Red = smallest change in biomass relative to the average (i.e. disease/pests), green = largest (i.e. early emergence or weed growth). You can set up daily email alerts for when the health change exceeds some threshold so you know where to scout. It also feeds into the models that predict growth stages/spray dates/etc.

We have a few weather stations, each one has all the typical weather stuff (humidity, high/low, PoP, precip amount, wind etc) and a forecast. It'll measure GDD's and precipitation to predict crop emergence etc. Real-time wind is useful for spraying. I think you get access to all the weather stations but our account only shows the ones on our land for some reason (dad set it up).

I think the moisture probes are new this year, they'll track water levels in your soil which combined with forecast and average precipitations refine the growth models. They're built for dryland, since we irrigate we passed on them. Irrigation is in development but for now we just have to tell our rep whenever we add water.

Health change is useful for scouting, and the growth models could be cool. The program records everything from the seeders/sprayers/harvesters and you associate all your inputs as you operate (even operators and their specific wage), so at the end of the year you'll have maps that show where your highest/lowest profit acres are. You can also draw polygons on the maps to see how specific areas compared i.e. if you tried a different spray for a pass or whatever. All in all very interesting stuff.

Handy little 12V compressor for the Jeep, should work great for airing up and maybe even run smaller air tools.

Well, finally, after almost 10 years with my Alienware ALX i7, I upgraded with this as the headliner!

JB4 going on your C400? What kind of numbers do you expect?

I guess it depends on what map I use - probably shave half a second off 0-100 easily, I don't intend on adding meth or octane booster so probably somewhat tame, an extra 50hp to a daily
