>> the farming community has a very long culture of DIY out of pure necessity Can confirm. And it's largely because a farmer's job is the management of dozens, hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of living beings - whether those are animals or plants. Thusly the level of unpredictability exponentially increases in this field versus a number of other fields - and yet this field is hypercritical to the sustainment of humanity itself. With weather, disease, and all other mitigating factors taken into mind, and despite a farmer's best efforts, there may be entire large sections of crops that completely fail - or animals that get diseased and affect the rest of the herd. This can lead to significant losses that I've unfortunately experienced firsthand. If it's Harvest season - that season only lasts a very certain, specified period of time, and if equipment fails, farmers will do whatever they have to do to hack around to make it work. I've seen an incredible amount of DIY innovation firsthand in these kind of crises. Farmers are some of the most hardworking, dedicated, and innovative people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. And let me tell you - when farmers are dealing with crises like this - the idea of a piece of software getting in their way, when a single day or two can make all the difference in the world - it's not something they want to be involved with, unless they know they can fix it themselves.
