Farmers are equipment nerds. It comes with the territory. They aren't an ignorant consumer market, which is why we're seeing a big push for right to repair from that industry - hopefully they carry the torch for ignorant consumers in computers and cars and other markets.

Some are. Some aren't. I know farmers on both sides. You can't paint massive demographics with broad strokes like that.
